Safari loads instead of Chrome

From within the mac messenger app I highlight, right click and select "search with google" and safari opens even though I have Google Chrome designated as my default web browser in my mac preferences. Any idea on how to have Google Chrome open instead of Safari? Mac OS Mojave 10.14.2

MacBook Air (2018 or later)

Perhaps try to reset the Preference > General > Default Browser ... Choose Safari, close the Preferences. Reopen it once again and select now Chrome as your default browser. This may write the Preferences new and perhaps your problem will go away ...


Only a guess - Happy New Year 2019!!!
