Description

Debian 11 (bullseye/sid)
Gnome 3.38. 4
I have both Chrome and Chromium on the system.
On VSCodium - I get this No Chrome installation found, or no Chrome executable set in the settings - used path null

I did see some discussion about this but did not understand what was the actual solution(at least not for simple person)
Any advice?
Thank you

Research direction

Reproduce the error in VSCodium on Debian 11 with both Chrome and Chromium installed. Start by checking how the browser executable setting is resolved and whether the reported path is null; done means the extension detects an installed browser or clearly identifies the setting needed to configure its executable.
