Netbeans: Using Chrome As The Default Browser

Netbeans (Programming IDE) and Google Chrome (Browser) are two of my favorite freeware applications. Getting netbeans to use Chrome as the default browser is easy and here’s how.

First, you will need to know that by default, Chrome is always installed in

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

To set the default browser in Netbeans, goto Tools > Options > Web Browsers > Add

In the Process field, key in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
* change username to your own windows username

Now when you click on a link in netbeans editor, the page will be opened in chrome.

* The same method can be used to add any browsers such as Opera, Safari and Firefox.
