How to change skype default browser

Installing packages from the Ubuntu software center using snap have some issues.

"snap", a new cross-OS package manager. Snap will be much better than APT one day, but right now it's in the beginning stages and experiencing growing pains.

I removed skype from the software center and I downloaded the .deb file from Official Skype website.

Then I installed it using dpkg which solved the problem.

Note: this answer inspired me.

For me, the following command immediately fixed the issue:

ln -s ~/.config/mimeapps.list ~/snap/skype/common/.config/mimeapps.list

To make it work with snap do the following:

1. Quit skype
2. ln -s ~/.config/mimeapps.list ~/snap/skype/common/.config/mimeapps.list
3. rm -rf ~/snap/skype/common/.config/google-chrome
4. sudo ln -s ~/.config/google-chrome ~/snap/skype/common/.config/
