For those who still have trouble launching Chrome automatically from cmd, try replacing

# c.NotebookApp.browser =''

in the file jupyter_notebook_config.py with

import webbrowser
webbrowser.register('chrome', None, webbrowser.GenericBrowser('C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe'))
c.NotebookApp.browser = 'chrome'

or the appropriate location, there shouldn't be need to install anything via pip.

You don t have to change anything in the jupyter config code  you just have to make Chrome as your default browser in the setting  Jupyter opens whichever is the default
