I added a WebViewer Object to a Layout, but when I click the Custom Web Address it always launches the Edge/IE Browser.  
How can I change this default, so that it always opens a Chrome Browser?  
I tried googling but the online documentation doesn't seem to talk about this possibility, or am I missing something very basic here?  
Using FMP15Advanced, Version 15.0.5.500

It will open the default browser. So it's not a Claris FileMaker setting, it's a Microsoft Windows setting that you need to be looking for.

The WebViewer object will be using the Edge browser engine, but as Malcolm says once you open the URL outside the FileMaker app it will use the default system browser.
