The answer above does work, but sometimes it doesn't. Especially for Linux distros have different ways of defining variables. However, what I found to be always working especially in manjaro are following:

  • opening the file manager with root
  • going to /etc/profile.d
  • create a file, you can name it whatever you want, in this case we can name it chrome.sh (.sh is necessary)
  • open the file and type the variable you want, with the export command (for example, i wanted to specify microsoft edge dev as the default chrome)

export CHROME_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/microsoft-edge-dev

  • restart your pc, and you're done

The Issue is solved by setting the path variable globally in my Linux by editing the file /etc/environment by running

sudo nano /etc/environment

and then adding the line 

CHROME_EXECUTABLE=/opt/google/chrome/chrome

setting the CHROME_EXECUTABLE=<path-to-chrome-chromium-or-brave> and restarting fixed my problem
