Visual Studio 2012 change web browser

Frustratingly, this isn't possible in Visual Studio 2012 or 2013.

There is an extension Open in External Browser. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Professional. It works for me.

To install:

  1. Go to "Tools" - "Extension and Updates..."
  2. Choose "Online" - "Visual Studio Gallery" on left pane
  3. Type in search field "open in external browser"
  4. Click "Install"
