How to open page in browser from html file on disk with user default webrowser? (not IE)

Issue

I used

webbrowser.open('file://page/index.html')

and page was opened with IE. How can i change this to user webbrowser, e.g. chrome, opera and each other?

Solution

webbrowser.open() should call the default webbrowser, whatever it may be.

If you want a specific other browser, you can use register() to register it, and then call open() in combination with get(), e.g.

webbrowser.register('chrome',
    None,
    webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser("C://Program Files (x86)//Google//Chrome//Application//chrome.exe"))

webbrowser.get('chrome').open('file://page/index.html')
