I want a program I'm working on to open a web page using the default browser. Program is cross-platform and will be compiled for both WIN64 & LINUX. Windows is easy here I just shell("start "+URL$). I've figured out that in linux I can just shell "firefox "+URL$ or shell "google-chrome " + URL$ and that works, but I don't know how to find the DEFAULT browser it's not in the ENVIRON$() and I'm not really sure how to go about it.

Give the user a menu of browser choices?
They might prefer to choose anyway.
