Hello,

I would like to know how to make Phyrox default browser.

Thank you.

EDIT: In the meantime I found a .vbs for FirefoxPortable and modified it to work with Phyrox. More deatils here: https://github.com/Bunny-Head/phyrox-default-browser

DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING IS JUST AN OPINION BY A RANDOM THAT HAS NO INVOLVEMENT ON THIS PROJECT WHATSOEVER.

One of the main reasons Windows is able to recognise web browsers to set them as a default one, is because of the programs being registered onto the user or system wide.

This goes against one of the main purposes of Portable Frameworks such as PortApps or PortableApps, where tries to avoid registering the browsers to the user or system & no leaving any traces on ProgramData, AppData or the Windows Personal folder, but not less important; traces within the Registry.

It's good you made a workaround, but if some registry is being created due to it, it already falls once again onto one of the purposes these frameworks are trying to avoid.
