FAQ
It reverted to the old default — why?
Some system updates or other browser upgrades reset the default. Set it again, or enable the default browser reminder in settings.
Can I set it only for certain links?
Not at system level, but in Sogou Browser you can configure how external links are handled and hand specific protocols to other programs.
