I want my default application to open .html files to be Chrome but on Ubuntu 18.04 every time I open vscode it overrides my set default. Not sure how to enable this permanently, does anyone know how to stop this change?


Someone already opened an issue on github.

Not a permanent soluation, but delete/mv the xdg-open handler /usr/share/applications/code-url-handler.desktop and/or .local/share/applications/code-url-handler.desktop will fix current issue until next installation if they do not fix it.
