It seems you can force a link to open in Edge.  Anybody know how this works to see if can be done with Chrome?  Below is how you code the URL.

<a href="microsoft-edge:http://google.com">link</a>

use below to open link in chrome

 

Simply replace http with googlechrome and https with googlechromes. This means:

  • http://www.google.com/ becomes googlechrome://www.google.com/
  • https://apple.stackexchange.com/ becomes googlechromes://apple.stackexchange.com/

I get this when I click the link in IE and I do have google chrome installed.

IF you select always use this app, it should work.

I doesn't let me click OK because as you can see it is not showing any apps to use.  It doesn't seem to know that I have chrome installed.
