Konsole should open the default browser set in KDE. |
36 |
You can check that in systemsettings -> Workspace Appearance and |
37 |
Behavior -> Default Applications -> Web Browser |

IIRC some browsers allow you to 'set them as default' somewhere in their |
40 |
menu (usually as an annoying popup at startup, until you disable it ;) |
41 |
which should work with kde.. (at least i think it worked the last time i |
42 |
tested it with chromium... but i mostly set it up manualy) |
