Deleting ~/.cache/chromium and ~/.config/chromium will reset your settings to the default setting but still will NOT reset the default browser choice in preferences.... It still shows chromium as the default.

/etc/chromium/master_preferences has the default set to 'false':

18:42 alchemy:~> grep -i default /etc/chromium/master_preferences "import_bookmarks_from_file": "/etc/chromium/default_bookmarks.html", "make_chrome_default": false, "make_chrome_default_for_user": false, "check_default_browser": false

There is no update-alternatives config for browsers, so my only guess is that this gets set in either gtk or qt4 somewhere... Bummer....

Anybody else figure out where this 'setting' is actually located?

AARGH (Duh... Smacks Self...)

Ye Ole' KDE Control Center -> KDE Components -> Component Chooser -> Web Browser trick :) (a/k/a kcmshell componentchooser)

Works like a champ. It's hard to imagine chromium could find it to begin with. Must be some strange dcop call or something.

Sometimes I hate it when I make things harder than they need to be....

Thanks Patrick!

I wonder why it doesn't honor the FF -> Preferences -> Advanced -> check/set as default?

Under KDE this only works with Firefox if the KDE integration is active (what should be the default as long as everything needed is installed). Do you see kmozillahelper running when Firefox is on?

Nope:

13:54 alchemy:~/scr/dev> ps ax | grep mozilla 20376 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep mozilla

but remember, this is KDE3...

Ahhh, sorry. So everything works as expected which means Firefox cannot set itself as default browser on KDE3. It only sets it in GConf for you which obviously has no effect for KDE applications (it has for apps like Thunderbird though).

Just set something else as the default. Chrome will honor it. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

With every browser I've used, there is a means to make it the default. So, if you want, for example, Firefox to be default, you'd do that within Firefox. The alternative is "Default Applications" within your Personal Settings (assuming KDE). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Guys,

There is some questionable stuff in chrome. One is once you click "what looks like it could be a drop-down list" to see what your choices are for the default browser setting --> You have actually just set chrome as your default browser. How do I UNSET it as my default browser. In FF I tell it to check and see if it is the default and it says FF IS the default browser, but when I click on some QT4 widget, I get chrome and not FF. What gives? Thanks.

Other than that, it runs fine... just some sneeky stuff under the hood I'm not sure I'm all that comfortable with...

Did you install "Chrome" from Google? Or "Chromium" from the distro? I have Chromium here and there's a "wrench" icon, near the top right, which brings up settings. As for default browser, you can simply open the browser you want to be default and use it to claim "default" status. Another way is "Default Applications" in Personal Settings.

It's in the oss repo. Be aware that the "chromium" is an unstable version of chrome. I tried it and had many problems that I don't have with the stable version of chrome.

I actually tried this and it didn't work :( But then again, I was searching for 'chrome'. I google opensuse install chrome and found that 'chromium' was in the contrib repo ;) -- David C.

from this thread I've gleaned (hopefully correctly) that the repo version disables some of the 'questionable' cron jobs and atd start that the google version has 'On' by default. (the phone home stuff)

I wonder if that can't be controlled by _not_ connecting to a gmail account. I also found that chromium seems to be built on a newer less stable version of chrome.
