I've been tinkering for awhile for this, and i accidently found this.

This is my setup: Basically in the General > Default Browser > Add > and insert the path to some random wording like "Non Existence Path" And it works 😲.

@djordjepekic Hi, no, it does not work even after adding a new entry for Arc in the Default Web Browser setting.

Screen shot of the setting:

Upon inspecting the default web browser path for Chrome in Flow's settings, I tested if using "arc" in Win + R brings up Arc too, and it does.

So, I updated Arc's entry in Default Web Browser setting to use "arc" as path, instead of the absolute path.

And I still face the same issue. No new tab is created.

Oops, sorry about that, @djordjepekic.

Looping in @deefrawley to the ticket.

[deefrawley]

Does it work when you specify Arc in the Default Web Browser setting for Flow?

[djordjepekic]

Wrong @ 😁

[taooceros]

maybe they shares a slightly different command line arg compared to other browser...

[taooceros]

Probably nothing much we can do without a document or at least access to arc....if you understand how their command line interface work we are happy to accept pr.

[Yusyuriv]

Keep in mind that Arc for Windows is still very much experimental (latest version is 0.14.1) and lacks a lot of features present in all other browsers. For example, they added closing tabs by pressing Ctrl+F4 only 8 days ago.

[Yusyuriv]

That being said, I do have access to it, so if anyone has any ideas, I'm happy to try them.

[taooceros]

I downloaded it (with school email). Seems to be interesting. As it is a appx package, it probably requires some additional handling compared to other browser. Also there's no document about the command line usage....

[taooceros]

I guess the problem is on their side. There's no command line argument for its app....

[deefrawley]

Changing this from a bug to an enhancement as it seems the issue is with the browser, not Flow.

[pratyakshm]

Yep, I've contacted them regarding this issue. Hoping that they attend to this.

Thanks for sharing, though this doesn't work for me. Does anyone have any ideas other than this?
