Thank you for your attention.</p>

<p dir="auto">What ancient version of Notepad++ are you using? <strong>View &gt; Current File in &gt; Edge</strong> has existed for years now – it was <a href="https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/6dfd22d52f159f1dfb9d4a41863a8bf26729d047" rel="nofollow ugc">added</a> in v7.6.5 in September 2019.  It was only versions before that in which you used the <strong>Run &gt; Launch In XXX</strong> entries.</p>
<p dir="auto">And if you still need to add some other browser, then yes, you can add <em>any</em> external application you want, as long as you know the command line; it’s really easy: <strong>Run &gt; Run…</strong>, type the path of the application to run (and maybe use the variables described in the <a href="https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#userdefinedcommands" rel="nofollow ugc">Config Files &gt; User Defined Commands</a> section of the user manual, like using <code>c:\path\to\otherbrowser.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"</code> to run the currently-active file in otherbrowser – then <strong>Save</strong> that user-defined command.</p>
<p dir="auto">(Those <strong>Run &gt; Launch In</strong> entries were <a href="https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/c1bf412f5737aa30f3f90ddaea57b2d8effbbea9#diff-15c481891cf8b0c6374a21fedd23f12e5c8650c2486d637afab9b07dd40f8436" rel="nofollow ugc">removed a little earlier than the alternative was developed, in v7.6.3</a>. This was part of the EU-FOSSA effort to avoid security compromise vectors from being distributed by default.)</p>
