Has this been forwarded to Debian yet? It's the last bit of the Ubuntu delta, and if we could push that upstream, we'll have the ability to sync.

How about aliasing to the simple 'browse', so I can recommend things like: sudo apt install foo; browse http://locahost:2022/ That would be crisp clean and friendly for current users. [Test Case] There is currently no simple 'browse' command. [Regression Potential] None. There are no name collisions with /usr/bin/browse in Debian or Ubuntu. [ Other Info ] Although the original request was to alias 'sensible-browser' it was decided that 'xdg-open' has the more consistent behaviour (in terms of selecting the correct web browser to use) and also falls back to 'sensible-browser'.
