As mentioned by Shaun, sounds like you use a specific browser which isnt google chrome, and when you open the URL it opens in chrome. <br />
You can changed this by opening default programs. <br />

Search for default programs in the search bar at the bottom, click default apps, then look at the bottom under &quot;web browser&quot; and click that and select the one you want to use.

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
