links open in wrong browser

I know this is old but I think I may have just solved it under the Safari>preferences>RSS tab and change default to Chrome.

Not a solution but (for me) an answer: I was having the same issue of right-clicking some text *in Chrome* and doing a Google search but it would launch Safari to do the search. It seems there's a contextual menu item that Chrome includes, "Search Google for 'whatever'" and there's also a contextual menu item that's included by the OS, "Search with Google." I never noticed the second one and have always just used the first, but the second one launches Safari... I must've hit it without looking. 3 times. Today. And wasted an hour trying to figure out why Safari's launching.

I guess I still don't know why Safari's launching when it knows Chrome is the browser I want to use, but oh, well.

Great, it worked! Thanks silby102

This is amazing. It's 2013, almost 2014 as I write this and I see here it's been a bug since 2011… I thought - but no! This has been an issue since 2002! So I guess this is a feature not a bug?

Search with Google still opens the wrong browser - even after 10 years of being a bug.

Resetting the default browser to Chrome in Safari (even though that is what it showed it was already set to) fixed the issue for me (the Pandora app was opening links in an old copy of Firefox).

1. Open Safari
2. Open "Preferences..."
3. On the "General" tab set the "Default Web Browser" to "Safari"
4. Close Safari
5. Open Safari
6. Open "Preferences..."
7. On the "General" tab set the "Default Web Browser" to "Chrome" (or your choice)
8. Close Safari
9. Try your link again

Worked for me, thank you.

Thanks Silby

In Notes, Search with Google still went to Safari.

Thanks to you, no longer.

The icing on the cake would be if I could change the Order of the new command line from down at the bottom of the list when I right click in Notes to closer to the top (probably above the default "Search with google"

Can you help?

Thank you so much for showing me how to do this!!! I know very little about computers but was able to get Chrome as the default search when right clicking after following your instructions. Appreciate it very much.
