# Linux Dev Build As Default Browser
|
|
|
|
Copy a stable version's `.desktop` file and modify it to point to your dev
|
|
build:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cp /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop \
|
|
~/.local/share/applications/chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop
|
|
vim ~/.local/share/applications/chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop
|
|
|
|
# Change first Exec line in desktop entry: (change path to your dev setup)
|
|
Exec=/usr/local/google/home/scheib/c/src/out/Release/chrome %U
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set the default:
|
|
|
|
xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop
|
|
|
|
Launch, telling Chrome which config you're using:
|
|
|
|
* `CHROME_DESKTOP=chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop out/Release/chrome`
|
|
* Verify Chrome thinks it is default in `about:settings` page.
|
|
* Press the button to make default if not.
|
|
|
|
Restore the normal default:
|
|
|
|
xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop
|
|
|
|
Change the default, run, and restore:
|
|
|
|
xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop && \
|
|
CHROME_DESKTOP=chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop out/Release/chrome
|
|
xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop && \
|
|
echo Restored default browser.
