Changing browser in VS Code

21 August 2026

VS Code uses my operating system’s default browser by default. But I want to override this setting as I am using Safari for General purpose and brave for other stuff.

I only realized today that I can override this. So here are the steps to do the same.

  • Press Cmd + , to open Settings.
  • Search for “External Browser”.
  • Under Workbench > External: Browser, type a browser name like firefox, brave or enter the absolute path to the application (e.g., /Applications/Brave Browser.app).

Subdomains

20 August 2026

Today, I realized that in GoDaddy, up to 500 subdomains are allowed under a standard domain, and 1,500 under a premium domain.

So I hosted my Life Left app under the subdomain lifeleft.binovarghese.com.

Here’s how I did it:

  • Deployed the project on Netlify.
  • Created the domain under Product domains in Domain management in the Netlify dashboard.
  • Added this subdomain in GoDaddy under DNS.
  • Added the record type as CNAME and the data as the Netlify site’s default subdomain (e.g., your-site-name.netlify.app).

That’s it, your project will be live after some time.
