### Feature request for product/service Cursor IDE ### Describe the request Menu should suggest to open link in Cursor browser (by default, but should be configurable) when I click links from files or Canvas at Cursor. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/6/1/6157b772602496be9b464912e6212e8916bf0d1b.jpeg) I remember some menus already have this: Open in Browser, Open in Cursor Browser, but this should be consistent. ### Operating System (if it applies) MacOS ---

Hi Eugen, I agree, this is currently a limitation in the IDE. In Glass, it defaults to opening links via whichever option you choose in Open Web Links in Browser. ![Screenshot 2026-04-30 at 2.52.03 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/2/4/24e06084019c31f024aa153f578853350610f611.png) But this Customizability is not offered currently in the IDE. Interested in hearing some other voices weigh in here too. ---

Can you check now? I may have been on a nightly build last week but it’s now live and updated on a wider roll out… ![Screenshot 2026-05-06 at 12.45.24 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/7/9/79f5b28e1c4ed1b9b60c060c413af01b925786ac.png) ---

That’s the correct version! Just to clarify you’re checking from Settings in the new Agents view right? If not, make sure to open the Agents View and then go to Settings please, because this option is not visible if you’re in the IDE → Cursor Settings. ---

Thanks for the clarification. I was checking in the IDE. 😶‍🌫️ I confirm this setting you have above is showing in the Agents view. 👍. For my scenario it makes total sense to expose this in the IDE : Agent is generating a dashboard that I want to open (and see the rendering). I would like : “Open with Default Browser”. But this is a P2 since I can achieve this differently. ---

Hi @Eugen_Konkov I took another look at this and it seems like the setting can be influenced from what windows you have open. Can you try restarting Cursor and making sure that you ONLY have the Agents View Open. If you have an Editor IDE view open at the same time, the settings panel might not render that particular option because it’s only supposed to be exposed on Agents view. From the version information that you copied and pasted (thank you!) with **Layout: editor** It appears that the IDE is focused in view rather than Glass and that is probably what is causing the setting to not render. ---

thank you for the response. I do not believe I have other windows opened. From my perspective the all settings should be accessible / rendered despite on the list of windows. Let me to share my direction of thoughts: Otherwise it looks weird: open desired window, go to the settings, change the setting. If you do not see the settings, try to press some buttons in IDE or different combination of windows. If I am lucky I will see the option or, probably, it was not implemented yet. sorry, can not retry. Today after the next upgrade the cursor just crashes… My day is blocked… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/0/e/0ee44670a95e4624d4b748c5f93c7172e88f3e35.jpeg) ---

Hi @Eugen_Konkov I just wanted to follow up here and mention that we’ve introduced more flexibility when choosing how to open links in the Agents window. Just right click on a link, and then you have the open to open it in the Cursor Browser, or an External one as follows: ![SCR-20260804-lqid](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/5/0/5093910a0256610a8edd84a4279fac7d477c4ae2.png)
