In the event that you want to change the default browser to something else (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave) you will need to use it as a software package that can be found in our portal.
Once you download it, add it to your Management Console.
Please update the variables in the Install script tab based on the Web Browser Configuration below or from the ReadMe.txt in the software package zip file.
