Opens Chrome stable if Chrome Canary is running
See original GitHub issueDescription
npm start opens wrong browser. I have both Chrome and Chrome Canary on my system, but I only use Canary (which is set as my default browser system-wide).
Expected behavior
npm start should open my default browser.
Actual behavior
Ignores my default browser setting, and opens Chrome (stable).
Reproducible Demo
- Start Google Chrome Canary.app
- run
npm start
Cause of the bug
node_modules/react-dev-utils/openBrowser.js:
execSync('ps cax | grep "Google Chrome"');
grep incorrectly matches “Google Chrome Canary”. Probably the same error would happen with Beta.
execSync('ps cax | grep "Google Chrome$"');
seems to fix the problem (tested on OS X 10.11). Alternatively, pgrep -x "Google Chrome" may give more precise result.

Yes, changing “Google Chrome” to “Chrome” in the applescript makes Canary reload the page as expected.
@n3tr Could this be a regression after https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/pull/1165? Can you check before and after?
