Using Different Browser in Preview

I recently moved away from Firefox (used it since the very beginning - Netscape Navigator) to the new ZEN browser which is build using Firefox technology.

When I preview my Blocs websites I can only choose between Firefox, Safari and DuckDuckGo browsers for some reason.

ZEN browser is set to be my default browser but it seems the browser preview selection is hard coded and not reflective of waht is currently installed on my Mac.

Any way I can force Blocs to use my new default browser ZEN?

I’ve never heard of it!!
I tend to just use and test browsers that nearly everyone use….then test on a few others after.

But I’ll note this browser for future tests.

Je teste actuellement ZEN Browser, c’est la copie conforme d’ARC
je l’ai adopter egalement.

Why are these browsers hard coded into Blocs and not just using the default browser or at the very least giving me the option of what installed browser I would like to preview in.

Which browser do you need support for? ZEN?

Zen and Waterfox for me.

Is there a reason why browser preview is hard coded into Blocs?

I’ve just never put the work into adding support for customisable lists, based on the fact, new browsers that have big user bases are rare.

It’s just easier and quicker to extend the list in app than build all the logic and UI for it.

I’ll get those added next week. :+1:

Hey @mliving tomorrows update of Blocs for Mac V6.1.2 will include support for more up and coming web browsers. :point_down:
