With latest version, links are opening up in Safari even though my default browser is Chrome

I upgrade nativefier to version 7.6.7 and have noticed that all links I click will now open in Safari versus my default browser Chrome.

I have an older version of my "app" and it open links in Chrome still.

Not sure if it's a flag setting now to specify which browser to use?

It might be helpful if you could tell us what version you were using previously.

The code that opens the external links uses the shell.openExternal function from electron, here:

https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/blob/master/app/src/components/mainWindow/mainWindow.js#L204

and here:

https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/blob/master/app/src/components/contextMenu/contextMenu.js#L12

The shell.openExternal function is documented here:

https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/shell.md

If it is not opening links in your default browser then perhaps this is a bug in electron?

Actually I figured out what needs to be done. Need to use the --internal-url flag. This can be closed.
