I have a very simple question I could not find answer for myself: I want links in OneNote to open in Chrome.
Note that the default browser is IE and I cannot change it (not admin etc).
Tried: "chrome_path url" - didn't work. Everything I could think about didn't work.
Please provide explicit solution so that link from within OneNote opens in Chrome rather than in IE.
To note, there are multiple links, so batch file won't do in this case.
Thank you in advance!
I had a little go with testing some ideas that I had though I'm very new to OneNote. It's easy enough to open Chrome from a hyperlink:
Select text to link
Add link
Select the file icon and navigate to chrome.exe. In my instance - C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
I believe you cannot pass arguments to the exe as it is considered a security issue. This certainly used to be the case and I'm not sure if they have modified their thinking since. The only way I can think of is to create a batch file which includes your ideal website and link to the batch file:
"start chrome http://www.youtube.com"
I found two ways to do it, though neither is the perfect:
There is a 3rd party OneNote add-on which adds more browsers in the right-click menu. Though it is not free and maybe can't be installed on restricted computers.
It works only on OneNote docs which are saved onto Onedrive. Open the OneNote page which has the links right in the Chrome, not in the desktop app. Then any links you click will open in the same browser. You can get the address of the OneNote page by clicking on 'Copy Link to Page' in OneNote app, then paste it to a notepad. Copy the first url to Chrome's address bar.
For those who has admin right, this problem can be solved by following Make Chrome your default browser. It is set at machine level, not onenote level.

I'm teaching a Year7 class via Zoom on writing HTML, and I have one student on an iPad (the rest are on desktops/laptops), and they're not able to get their webpage to open in Safari (I'm using Chrome on Windows, which of course is simply a matter of double-clicking on the file). I'm trying to see what she sees, but I think Zoom is possibly not showing me the pop-up dialogues. She is using Notes to write the page (which looked to be the closest iOS equivalent to Notepad).
I Googled and sent her a few blogs, but still not working. I said she needs to click on Share and look for something like "copy path to file" or "copy link", and then paste that into the Safari address bar. She said when she did that Safari was showing the source code, not the rendered page. When she just taps the file it opens in Notes, not Safari. That made me suspect her file was actually index.html.txt (she tells me she has extensions switched on), but when I sent her my own file, which is definitely only index.html, she says the same thing is happenning.
Is anyone able to give me some definite step-by-step instructions (this is for a Year 7 student) on how to open their local HTML page in Safari?
thanks,
Donald.
Safari iPad no longer supports access to local or iCloud files. A number of iPadOS apps will however allow a user to view, edit, and test html code in files stored in local iPad, iCloud, or third party (e.g. Google or Dropbox) storage folders. One needs only to search in the App Store for “html editor” to see the list. Some of the apps have features that rival or exceed those found in tools on desktop (laptop) systems.
I had the same issue today on ios15.
There is a free app called Koder available on the App Store which will let you edit and view the HTML file. I’m no expert but the editor looks pretty fully featured at first glance.
Sorry to say but an iPad is obviously not the best place for simple HTML editing. At least not with the default apps available on iOS.
Given an existing HTML File one can use Files app to navigate to it and open it with double click. This will open the file in a very simple viewer wich is at least able to render the HTML. As a developer i bet its using WKWebView which is basically Safari's HTML View.
Turns out Microsoft Edge, unlike Safari, can still open local html files. Discovered in this answer. To wit:
Install Microsoft Edge from the App Store
Open Files (or whatever file browsing app you like).
Open the file, then tap the Share button to send to another app.
Scroll across to "More...", choose Edge, and voila!
When using the Microsoft Edge browser, by default when you open a PDF it will open the PDF in a new tab using the built-in PDF viewer. To avoid this, you can adjust the browser's settings: Toggle on the "Always open PDF files externally" option. This works great. However, it presents a separate issue. Our internal applications use embedded PDFs in iframes. When the external toggle is set to on, these PDFs will not show in the iframes. This doesn't happen in Chrome. Has anyone else experienced this and know a work around?
I've tried removing the type="application/pdf" from the iframe tag to no avail. I can't find anything else online.
It looks like an expected result because you have enabled the option Always open PDF files externally.
So MS Edge browser is giving you an option to download the PDF file and open it using the desired app.
You said this doesn't happen in Chrome browser.
If you enabled the Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome option then you will notice the same result in the Chrome browser.
Output in the Chrome browser:
If you click on the Open button then it will download the PDF file.
I did not get any solution or a workaround for this issue.
If you think that there should be an option to load the file in an iframe if Always open PDF files externally option is enabled then I suggest you click on the Send Feedback button in the MS Edge browser and try to provide your feedback about it to the Microsoft.
I posted feedback suggesting that an exclusion/inclusion list be in included but the simplest way would be to treat the frame as part of the session. But this is not Microsoft it is the Chrome projects issue.
I have been having a very odd problem in all Salesforce orgs, but only when using Chrome.
If I go to Setup, and click on a "classic" setup link, like "users", instead of opening it in the iframe within lightning, it attempts to open it in a new browser tab. The page renders, but none of the links or javascript do anything.
I have seen advice that says to avoid a plugin called "Ghostery" but I am not using that, and have turned off other browser extensions but nothing works. This is not happening for anyone else I know using chrome and salesforce, which leads me to believe it is some Chrome configuration setting, but I don't know what to look for.
I use the extension New Tab Wallpaper for Google Chrome. I am wondering if it's possible to modify it so that it doesn't show the annoying Settings button on the bottom right corner. Or at least doesn't appear unless you move your cursor down there.

Looking at the extension in the Chrome Web Store, it doesn't look like the author linked the project to a homepage or an open source code repository such as GitHub.
That being said, if you really wanted to alter the extension, you can find the code on your computer, see this answer regarding where to find the extension on your computer for various operating systems. A Google Chrome extension is simply HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

So I am creating a wordpress blog for some friends. We use a shared network, and I want to create a link on that blog that when pressed opens up a folder in internet explorer.
The current html code is
I am using a chrome extension called "open in IE" , but to use it requires a right click then choosing an option within the menu. This process is too long and I want to simplify it.
Is there any html code I can write that make it open that file:// link using the "open in IE" extension by default? The goal is to be able to left click the link in chrome and have a window explorer open with the files in it.
Cheers
Unfortunately, targetting a specific browser to open on a clicked link is not possible.
Unless you modified some of their internal registry or used an activex plugin, it is just not a supported feature at this time.
You will most likely need to hard code some javascript.
I believe it is possible to reference installed extensions from your code using chrome.extensions.
