Why do I see "Choose default browser" on Chrome when I have already selected the default browser in project settings?

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing a bothersome request from the Chrome browser every time I execute my test case.
The browser asks me every time opens to choose the default browser, preventing me from seeing my test execution. I don’t know why this is happening because I have already set the default browser from project settings!

Who can help me understand why this is happening and if I can solve this problem.

Thank you in advance
Deborah

Hi there,

Thank you very much for your topic. Please note that it may take a little while before a member of our community or from Katalon team responds to you.

Thanks!

hi @deborah.deidda.1993

the setting in project settings is which browser katalon launches, it has nothing to do with the popup. the popup is chrome itself: katalon starts chrome with a fresh temporary profile every run, and a fresh profile asks “make chrome your default browser” every time.

tell chrome not to ask. Project > Settings > Desired Capabilities > Web UI > Chrome, add:

name: args    type: List    value: ["--no-default-browser-check", "--no-first-run"]

save, run again, the prompt is gone. same two flags work for edge under the Edge Chromium section.
