no, too invasive and not without risk because it does not work as it does in android where the possibility is provided by the s.o. |

No, using that "Default Browser" setting opens Windows 11 Default Apps page, but Cromite is not listed there as a registered application and until it is, there is no way to make Windows 11 see it as a possible program to open HTM and/or HTML files. Cromite info needa to be in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications for it to correctly to be selectable as default browser in Windows 11. Have you thought about making a UWP version of Cromite? UWP AppX format adds some sandboxing features, but nothing Sandboxie can't provide. |

I don't use w11 yet so I didn't know that.
seems strange to me, but again, I don't use w11.
not unless chromium comes out with that support. |

How can I help with default browser issue? Have you checked the WinChrome fork to which I linked in my OP? Whichever registry keys it adds as part of its installation process allows it to work as default browser in Windows 11. I just use WinChrome installation and then replace installed WinChrome files with the ones from Cromite's package to make Cromite work as default browser. It is obviously not the best solution. |

You already have the answer. What are those values? Is it possible to create a dos or powershell script to solve it? I will not do any installer. |

You can use chrlauncher for this. Create chrlauncher.ini, run SetDefaultBrowser.bat and select chrlauncher as a default. |

I followed opzch's advice regarding crlauncher, made a few changes to SetDefaultBrowser.bat and it worked. Credit goes to crlauncher developer, but here's the edited version that works extremely well with Cromite - |

Can you please add an installer for Windows version or just an executable or some form of forcing Cromite to be the default browser? It is not as simple as making Cromite the default for opening HTML filages. It needs to correcly work with hyperlinks and register itself as an application with whichever capabilities for Windows 11.
I think WinChrome from here is a good example of an installer that allows for default browser enablement - https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome.
It would even better to make Cromite act as a sort-of WebView in Windows 11 (instead of Edge WebView), but that would require deep integration as OS and running Cromite in UWP sandbox. There are VPN apps, such as one for NordVPN, that use default browser for initial login and its awful because browsers can make connections to all kinds od services when launched and leak a ton of information before VPN tunnel is established. Such apps would benefit from hooking to Cromite as default browser in a mode that prevents all connections, except for the ones made by VPN app.
