I have Lubuntu 18.10 and can't seem to make Google Chrome Stable the default browser. I read online to go here in the terminal and choose browser and press enter, BUT, this does not work:



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


I set up my keyboard with shortcut keys to hit CtrlB to pop up my browser, but Firefox pops up instead. How can I make Google Chrome my default browser in Lubuntu 18.10?
