I updated the Google Chrome version, and since Opera has become my default browser.

In Google Chrome, under the default browser settings, it just says:

"Google Chrome cannot determine or set the default browser."

How do I change this?

To change the default browser:

via command line:

 sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

and choose the number correspond to google chrome. Now exit and check the problem will be solved from chrome settings(I noticed that a wired thing happen just when Opera become the dfeault).

via GUI:

Click on the dash button in the launcher and search for 'System info'. Then, open 'System info' and move to 'Default applications' section.
