# Browser Settings

> Configure the integrated web browser, audio controls, downloads, user agents, and browser data clearing.

Customize the behavior, download routing, and identity of LynxHub’s integrated browser.

## Audio control

Control how audio is played across your browser tabs:

* **Global Mute:** Mutes all audio output from browser tabs. Individual tab mute buttons remain functional but will have no audible effect when global mute is active.
* To toggle this, look for **Global Mute** in the **Browser** section of settings.

## Downloads

Customize download destinations and prompt behaviors:

* **Download Location:** Displays the folder where downloaded files are saved. Click **Change Location** to choose another folder on your system.
* **Download Behavior:**
  * **Use default location:** Saves all downloads automatically to the specified directory.
  * **Always ask where to save:** Prompts you to select a directory and rename the file for each download.

## Link handling

Choose where clicked web links are opened:

* **Open links externally:** When enabled, any links clicked within the browser or dashboard will open in your computer’s default system web browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari) rather than inside LynxHub.
* Toggle this under **Open links externally** in the settings.

## User agent

Websites use user agents to identify the browser type. LynxHub allows you to customize this header to resolve compatibility issues:

* **User Agent presets:**
  * **LynxHub (Default):** The standard identification header sent by LynxHub.
  * **Electron:** Identifies the browser as standard Electron.
  * **Chrome:** Identifies the browser as standard Google Chrome.
  * **Custom:** Allows you to input a custom user agent string.
* **Custom user agent override:** Select **Custom** from the dropdown menu, paste your user agent string into the text field, and click the save icon.

<Tip>If a web interface fails to load or blocks you (for example, warning that your browser is unsupported), try switching your user agent to **Chrome**.</Tip>

## Clear browser data

Wipes local web storage and cache directories. You can selectively clear:

* **Cache:** Clears temporary web assets to force websites to reload fresh files.
* **Cookies:** Clears website session data and logins.
* **Favorites:** Wipes your bookmarked URL links.
* **History:** Clears your web navigation history.
* **Fav Icons:** Wipes cached website icons.

To clear data:

1. In the **Browser** section, select the checkboxes for the data types you want to delete.
2. Click **Clear** to wipe the selected data.
