I'd like to set Chromium as the default browser to debug ASP.NET Core applications. Unfortunately, it is not listed in the available browsers:

enter image description here

Select Web Browsers... option opens a dialog in which same browsers are listed but not sign of Chromium whatsoever:

enter image description here

In fact it repeats the information in the menu, nothing more. No way to search installed apps or something...

Looks like Chromium is not a "first class citizen" in VS2019!

So, my question is: Does anybody know how to make Chromium the default browser when debugging ASP.NET Core MVC applications?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Please, let's respect each other... Do not post answers like "start debugging with another browser then switch to Chromium."

OK, the comment by @Ahmed pours some light, only it remains a bit dimmed. Tasks.json didn't help in finding Chromium in the browser list.

The explanation found here didn't solve the problem either: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/customize-build-and-debug-tasks-in-visual-studio?view=vs-2019.

So, the answer now... Despite I didn't want to change the default browser (I love my Opera!), making Chromium the default browser solved this small but boring issue - Chromium appeared in the browser list and I was able to launch it.
