"Open in Hydrogen Browser Window" button doesn't function as intended

When opening a website that isnt able to embedded in a webview, a warning is populated with one option being "Open in Hydrogen Browser Window." However, this button populates a browser picker shown below.

Another interesting functionality is that when I choose "Google Chrome", it opens Firefox. This is because I don't have Chrome. Unsure what the functionality should be. Maybe current functionality is best.

Thanks kaleymer, both fixed in Hydrogen 1.0.606 (insiders).

  1. "Open in Hydrogen Browser Window" on a site that refuses embedding now opens the site in a Hydrogen Browser Window. It was sending the link through the browser picker instead.
  2. Picking "Google Chrome" opened Firefox. The picker listed a browser whenever its profile folder existed, and a Chrome uninstall leaves that folder behind. Picking it found no chrome.exe and fell back to another browser. The picker now lists a browser only when its program is installed (the same paths the launcher uses). Tested on a PC by planting a leftover Brave folder with Brave not installed: the picker listed only Chrome and Edge.

Both reach public with the next promotion.
