Answer 1

To achieve this on Windows 10, I had to do the following:

For a temporarily choose/specify a browser from the Anaconda Prompt CLI (note the order/type of quotes, they seem to be different to most other answers as those answers failed to work for me):

jupyter notebook --browser="'C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe' %s"

To set it permanently, edit the jupyter_notebook_config.py file in your .jupyter folder. I'm not certain that you need to escape the backslashes (i.e. \ vs just ), but I used the following and it worked (again, note that the order/type of quotes is different):

c.NotebookApp.browser = '"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\BraveSoftware\\Brave-Browser\\Application\\brave.exe" %s'
