Hi, There are several steps involved during R ?Startup that set system and session specific ?options. In your ~/.Rprofile, for session specific settings, you can add something like the following: options(browser = "/usr/bin/open -a '/Applications/Google Chrome.app'") replacing the Chrome binary filename above with the Canary name. Be sure to exit your R session after setting the above, then start a new session to pick up the change. The above works for me, to change the default from Safari to Chrome, just within my R session, without affecting the system default.
