How to use Edge browser?

[chenbimo]

I tried using browser:edge but it still opened chrome

WXT uses web-ext to open the browser in dev mode. It only knows where Chrome and Firefox are located by default. When using a different browser, you have to tell web-ext where that browser's binary or executable is located, otherwise it will open chrome by default (since most browsers are chromium and will behave the exact same).

You can do this by using the runner config inside wxt.config.ts if you want to commit the config, or in a separate, gitignored web-ext.config.ts file if not.

// ~/web-ext.config.ts or <root>/web-ext.config.ts
import { defineRunnerConfig } from 'wxt';

export default defineRunnerConfig({
  binaries: {
    // Customize which binary to use for a specific browser
    edge: "/path/to/edge"
  },
});

I'll add docs to this page to explain this.
