What happened?

Please make the launcher use the Default web browser on the computer, rather than force it to use any specific browser. it's really frustrating to never use Firefox, already have my Brave browser open with many tabs, and then suddenly have Firefox starting up just to load this one page that runs just fine in Brave.

I can see in the code here:

Ventoy/Plugson/src/main_windows.c

Line 115 in 3f65f0e

static void OpenURL(void)

That in the sub, it adds a bunch of hard coded patsh to ff and chrome, and if they exist, it launches it first; and if none exist, it launches the default browser; it seems that just commenting out or removing that part and just leaving the Default launch would be best.

Something like:

static void OpenURL(void)
{
    //int i;
	char url[128];
   /*
    const static char * Browsers[] = 
    {
        "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe",
        "C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe",
        "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe",
        "C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe",
        NULL
    };
  */
	sprintf_s(url, sizeof(url), "http://%s:%s/index.html", g_sysinfo.ip, g_sysinfo.port);

	//if (g_ChromeFirst)
	//{
	//	for (i = 0; Browsers[i] != NULL; i++)
	//	{
	//		if (ventoy_is_file_exist("%s", Browsers[i]))
	//		{
	//			ShellExecuteA(NULL, "open", Browsers[i], url, NULL, SW_SHOW);
	//			return;
	//		}
	//	}
	//}

    ShellExecuteA(NULL, "open", url, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);
}

I don't have any C++ coding IDE though so I can't try it myself.

ALSO. would LOVE a button to relaunch the WebUI. When we make manual edits to the .json while the WebUI is open, even pressing the Refrsh button doesn't show the file updates in the WebUI. That means we have to shut down Plugson, restart the .exe, and then go through the same auto-launch of a browser we don't want opening. =/
