Hello,
with Lens: 2025.2.141554-latest, Electron: 33.4.0, Chrome: 130.0.6723.191, Node: 20.18.1 while port forwarding or login with teleport Lens creates a new window with clear Chrome browser. In earlier versions Lens used browser that installed in system so I can use active Chrome instance. How can I configure Lens?

Hello @plight,

What do you have in output, if you write this command in the terminal?
xdg-settings set default-web-browser

Also, we have released a new version, could you update Lens and try again, please?
