Hi,
I would like to open internet links from my Win11 virtual machine on Chrome which is my default browser in Mac.
I searched and found the following instructions
Set Windows to Always Open Links in macOS
To set all links that you click in Windows to always open in macOS, do the following:
In Windows, click the Start button > Settings > Apps > Default apps.
In search bar type Safari or any macOS browser:​
But neither Safari nor Chrome Mac are showing. Only Windows browsers are showing.
Any idea why they are not recognized ?
Thx !
