Custom Browser
« on: September 27, 2013, 01:57 AM »
Hi,

I tried the following settings:
Code: (generic)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir="D:\Software\Chrome Default" "$$1"

or:
Code: (generic)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir="D:\Software\Chrome Default"

But no browser is launched after I enter an URL with FARR. Any solutions please? Thanks!

The double dash can't solve my problem. I tried removing the quotation marks from chrome.exe and it worked, with or without dashes. So weird.
