I am trying to run sudo and set the default browser. I want to set chromium as my default browser. I have tried

sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

This shows chrome as my default browser. However when I run in sudo mode and try to use grunt , it keeps using firefox as the default browser. Without sudo it goes back to google chrome. What am I doing wrong?

Try this. Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo update-alternatives --get-selections

enter image description here

Find out what is set as the x-www-browser, it will probably be Firefox, then do this:

sudo rm /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/chromium-browser /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser
