Is Chrome set as your default? When I preview I believe it opens Firefox. But I could be hallucinating.

A number forget to care to update IE so Xara is potentially allowing an IE flaw to be exploited.
It should go to Edge as a minimum but, properly, the Preview should allow a default to be user-selectable.
Ever felt Xara is milking us? Not much of a Support Service to date.

Ack! Someone shoot me. Yes, of course it opens the IE browser. I had it confused from after a publish then you click the link to see the published site. At this point it opens the new site in your default browser.
Never mind.
The only way to fudge it that I have found is to open the Preview once.
Minimise it and position it in a empty space of the application (It is always on top so I drop it drown to the Status line).
Click on the Chrome (or other) icon the once and thereafter click the Preview icon and then refresh the Chrome window.
It is a trade off but it saves having to open and close the Preview and Chrome repeatedly.
It also saves me killing Chrome in error, losing all my open Tabs or have a cascading trail of Tabs added to by each Preview.

I remember one of the devs explaining why the program uses IE as the default browser. The reason, I seem to remember, is technical but I forget the specifics.
Never stick with a busted flush.Quote:

Love you guys but annoyed at xara. I have a love hate relationship with xara for decades.
I guess selecting your default browser is another existing feature that needs to be fixed. ;)
