    I want to set mine to always open YouTube in Chrome instead of Safari, is that possible?

    Mel: What is triggering the "open?" This video here is talking about opening files. But you don't open a document to go to a web site. So are you clicking on a link somewhere? If that case, you can choose your default browser, certainly. But you can't choose it based on what URL the link contains.
