@rgbjoy Thanks for the idea. Would you mind sharing why the OS default isn’t working for you for the browser that’s used?

I use Safari for personal use which used by system default. I use Chrome for web development that’s signed into all my work accounts (Github). So I usually have to copy and paste the URL or manually find my Pull Request on the other browser. This maybe a rare use case but thought I’d try 😃

I set Chrome as my default browser on macOS, across all my applications, yet GH Desktop ignores this and opens URLs in Safari.

It’s 2022, how is this still broken?
