    detect what the default browser of the user is

    Please don’t do stuff like this. You will always get it wrong. I hate apps trying to be “clever” placing unneccessary friction upon my workflow, because they always get it wrong. Then I have to figure out how their regarded auto detection works so I can trick it into doing the rigjt thing.

      I do agree, yeah. If we would have auto-detection, I’d want a manual override to be implemented for sure.
      It’s a CLI, so it wouldn’t be too bad to add a --browser=firefox flag or similar, but it just makes it even more obvious that this feature only adds complexity, because we would have two solutions when we hardly needed one.
