Change default web browser?

Post by mxyzptlk »

Oddball question:

Is there a way to change the default web browser qBittorrent uses when you click a link without changing the desktop default browser?

Right now, qBittorrent uses the default browser for the desktop. In this situation, there's a shared machine, and Person A uses the default browser, and Person B uses a different browser -- they keep different bookmarks, use different features, etc.

Person B would prefer that qBittorrent uses their own choice of browser over the desktop default browser, but can't find a way to change that preference in any qBittorrent settings.

So: Is there a way to change the browser qBittorrent uses without changing the default desktop browser?

Maybe you must set it in the file association of the browser?

Haven't attempted this yet, but from what I understand, changing the file association in the browser only alters what the browser calls to open a .torrent file. It won't change what qbittorrent calls to open a browser.
