I was looking for an easy to launch the notebook server with a different browser than the default one. I created a batch file (for Windows but easily adaptable to Linux):
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Python34_x64;C:\Python34_x64\Scripts set PYTHONPATH=<extra_path>;%PYTHONPATH% set BROWSER="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" jupyter-notebook --notebook-dir=<your_folder_for_notebooks> --port=XXXX
The notebook opens on Chrome with the following url http://localhost:XXXX.

With Anaconda, you get all these updates by typing: conda install jupyter.
