nbrowser

nbrowser started as browser prompter for Linux. It works by setting it as the default browser; any clicked links in non-browser apps are now sent to nbrowser where you are presented with a menu of all your installed browsers. You may now decide which app you’d like to continue opening the link with and more.

  xdg-mime default nbrowser.desktop x-scheme-handler/https x-scheme-handler/http x-scheme-handler/browser

• some console applications us the variable $BROWSER to open default browser, so you may also need to set environment variable BROWSER=nbrowser
