[issue35593] Register standard browser: Chrome

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

The patch won't work on my machine - "chrome[.exe]" is not on my PATH:

>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.which("chrome")
>>> import webbrowser
>>> webbrowser.register("chrome", None, webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser("chrome"))
>>> webbrowser.get("chrome")
<webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser object at 0x00000252203B40B8>
>>> webbrowser.get("chrome").open("https://stevedower.id.au/")
False

Perhaps this also requires an update to shutil.which() on Windows to inspect HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths?
