Chrome is always used, regardless of default browser
See original GitHub issueopenBrowser always attempts to open Chrome on macOS, even when Firefox is set as the default browser.
It does check the BROWSER env var, but given that this isn’t set by default when setting a default browser, it’s not authoritative. Instead, openBrowser assumes that if Chrome is open, it’s fine to use. For developers who have multiple browsers open, this is not the case, and the behaviour is confusing.
Instead, it would be great if the preferences could be checked first, perhaps using default-browser?

Can we just turn off the open-in-browser automatically functionality? It doesn’t seem to add much value, and causes these annoyances. In my setup,
npm run startopens my app in Firefox, while I actually use Chromium mainly for development. I’d be happy to submit a PR for this.https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#advanced-configuration
