Registered Linux Sublime Text 3 - Open HTML File In Google Chrome?

#1

Hi,

I am currently working on an Internet project.
I am using a registered Sublime Text 3 on Linux Mint 18.2 KDE 64Bit.

I installed the “Open In Browser” plugin and it works fine.
Due to overwhelming performance issues in Mozllia Firefox,
I need to open an HTML file in Google Chrome.

How can I configure the “Open In Browser” plugin to open Google Chrome?
Thanks, great piece of software!

I believe that for this to work in “Open in Browser”, Chrome has to be your default browser. You should be able to make this so in the Chrome settings. ( I don’t use Chrome because of privacy issues - I know, I am in the minority). The package “View in Browser” will let you use Chrome, but you will probably have to change the program path given in the default settings and put the correct path in the user settings - I have to do that for Firefox 64.

If you are developing Web pages, you might want to try Chrome Canary.

Hi,

Thanks for the response.
I made Google Chrome my default browser and rebooted.
When I click on “View In Browser” it still opens Mozilla Firefox?

Is there something I must set somewhere in Sublime Text 3 Linux to fix the above?
Thanks!

I am not developing web pages, I design video games using WebGL/HTML5…

I thought that you were using Open in Browser. For View in Browser, you have to change the setting to “browser”: Chrome and be sure that the path to the Chrome browser is correct in the settings. You would have to move both correct settings to the user settings The browser setting is at the end of the Default settings.
There is no browser setting in Sublime Text AFAIK.
