Make a link from Electron open in browser
You can simply use :
require("shell").openExternal("http://www.google.com")
EDIT: @Arjun Kava's answer is much better these days.
This answer is quite old and assumes you have jQuery.
const shell = require('electron').shell; // assuming $ is jQuery$(document).on('click', 'a[href^="http"]', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); shell.openExternal(this.href);});
mainWindow.webContents.on('new-window', function(e, url) { e.preventDefault(); require('electron').shell.openExternal(url);});Requires that you use target="_blank" on your anchor tags.
