To change your default browser in Slack on a desktop, you need to adjust the settings on your computer, as Slack itself does not have a built-in option to change the default browser. Here’s a simple guide to help you do this on different operating systems:
For Windows:
-
Open Settings: Click on the Start menu and select the gear icon to open the Settings app.
-
Access Default Apps: In the Settings window, click on "Apps", and then select "Default apps" from the left-hand menu.
-
Change Web Browser: Under the "Web browser" section, you’ll see the current default browser. Click on it, and a list of installed browsers will appear. Select the browser you want to set as default.
-
Confirm Changes: Close the Settings window. Your new browser will now open links from Slack.
For macOS:
-
Open System Preferences: Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner and select "System Preferences".
-
Access General Settings: Click on "General" in the System Preferences window.
-
Set Default Browser: Look for the "Default web browser" dropdown menu. Click on it and choose your preferred browser from the list.
-
Close Preferences: Close the System Preferences window. Your selected browser will now handle links from Slack.
