[Bug 1624022] Re: Alias 'browse' to sensible-browser

[Mark Shuttleworth]

Guys, the bug is to have the command "browse" DTRT.

It sounds like xdg-open is TRT :) but please don't forget that the point
is to get the command "browse" onto every ubuntu system. xdg-open is a
lovely command for people who have a clue what xdg is. "browse <url>" is
what we want to tell our users to do.

Title:
  Alias 'browse' to sensible-browser

Status in sensible-utils package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The 'sensible-browser' command is very useful, but it's a bit unwieldy
  to use everywhere in docs. How about aliasing the simple 'browse' to
  sensible-browser, so I can recommend things like:

    sudo apt install foo; browse http://locahost:2022/

  That would be crisp clean and friendly for current users.
