Using system web browser instead of MATLAB Web browser

The documentation specifies that one can use the system's web browser when opening external links (see "Web Browsers and MATLAB"). How do you specify that this browser is to be used for all browsing needs (ie not just for external links)?

The obvious use case is to provide a seamless experience when following links. Our is based on the observation that our Linux systems that MATLAB might allow for printing from the plot view, and using the print command, but not when using the MATLAB Web Browser. The latter is used eg when the user presses 'Publish' to show plots and the code generating the plot (and wants to print immediately, rather than opening the HTML files in a separate browser).

I understand you want to open your published html files in your system web browser instead of the MATLAB web browser. I would recommend using the "web" command with '-browser' flag to achieve this. For more information, kindly follow the below documentation link.

Currently, there is no option to set the system web browser for all web applications within MATLAB.

OK - thanks. This is what I was asking about.

I see that at least some parts of Matlab allow specific settings (such as eg the report generator). Do you know if there is such a seting for the Publish function (or button)?
