Hello there @corbin 👋 Welcome to DevKinsta community!

There’s no such option in DevKinsta to set which default browser to be used when opening a site.

By default when we click the “ **Open site** ” button in DevKinsta, the default web browser (that’s set on the operating system we use on our computer) will be loaded automatically to open that web/site’s URL.

So let’s say if `Google Chrome` is set as the default browser to access the website URL on our operating systems (e.g.: [Mac](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201607), [Windows 10/11](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-your-default-browser-in-windows-020c58c6-7d77-797a-b74e-8f07946c5db6#ID0EDD=Windows_11) or [Linux Ubuntu](https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-default-browser.html)), then when a web URL is opened/accessed in any application (e.g.: DevKinsta in this case), the Google Chrome browser will automatically open up to that web URL.

Cheers,  
Agus
