It seems that with the latest update, the Cypress app now launches the Electron browser by default instead of Chrome, as it did before. Is there a way to switch it back to using Chrome by default?

Just add to your Cypress open or cypress run command the browser name.

cypress open --browser chrome

Thank you @mysterious-belgium-25713 , but do you know why? And is there another way to do it without adding a browser flag to the cypress open command?

It should be remembering your last choice when you open the app again. Is it not doing that for you?
