How it works?

Visual
  • on win32 uses start
  • on darwin uses open
  • otherwise uses ths xdg-open script from freedesktop.org

Usage

use Alt + B shortcut to open current html file in default browser, or Shift + Alt + B to choose a browser.you could also right click just like the picture:

when you choose oepn in Other Browsers, a browser list will display, and you could choose one to open current file.

when you choose open in Default Browser, it means system default browser by default. If you want to configure the default browser, you could override it like that:if you configured the default browser, when you choose open in Default Browser, your configured browser will works.

you do not need to set opn-in-browser.default a very accurate value, as long as the value matches any of the following terms, I will handle it:Chrome values: chrome, google chrome, google-chrome, gcFirefox values: firefox, mozilla firefox, ffIE values: ie, iexploreSafari values: safariOpera values: operaChromium values: chromiumFirefox Developer Edition values: firefox developer, fde, firefox developer editionEdge values: edge, msedge, microsoftedge
