I'm on a Windows machine without admin right and I would like to run Jupyter on Chrome, while the default browser is another.
I have a local installation of the Anaconda distribution and my first option to start Jupyter would be through the Anaconda Navigator, but maybe I have to do something else. Because it is a local installation the command line jupyter notebook produces no results.
When I paste the url address I have in the default browser (something like http://localhost:8892/notebooks/Home/Exercices/Testing1.ipynb) the chrome page asks me for a password or token. I have no password and I do not know what a token is.
Is there a way to change the browser of the Anaconda Navigator? or how can I start Jupyter with Chrome?
Thanks to @Darthbith and this post How to change the default browser used by the ipython/jupyter notebook in Linux? I was able to figure it out:
Step 1: To open Anaconda Prompt from the Start Menu and type
# for old notebook and JupyterLab < 3.0, or
jupyter notebook --generate-config
# for new nbclassic and JupyterLab >= 3.0
jupyter server --generate-config
This will generate the file ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py (or jupyter_server_config.py for nbclassic/new JupyterLab)
Step 2: Edit this file and change the following line (chrome is also in a local installation)
# for old notebook and JupyterLab < 3.0
c.NotebookApp.browser = u'C:/Home/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s'
# OR for new nbclassic and JupyterLab >= 3.0
c.ServerApp.browser = u'C:/Home/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s'
