How can I halt Windows from forthwith switching to Google Chrome, after I click on URLs on Skype?

+2
−4

Whenever I click on an URL in Skype, Windows opens up Google Chrome straightaway with the webpage. How do I halt this, so that Windows stays focussed on Skype?

I like to click and open URL's — that counterparties on Skype message me — straightaway in my browser, to remind me to read them after I finish Skyping. Unquestionably, it's unproductive to click one URL, then have Windows switch to Chrome — then I must minimize Chrome and return to Skype. Undeniably, I loathe repeating this with each URL messaged me.
