[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Use gtk_show_uri_on_window() in utils_open_browser() by default (PR #3178)

[Thomas Martitz]

Instead of requiring the user to specify a browser just try to
use the system default browser through gtk_show_uri_on_window().
This is done when tool_prefs.browser_cmd is empty which is
also the new default.

This aligns with windows where we do this already. Though we're
bypassing tool_prefs.browser_cmd there entirely, while on non-Windows
we still honor tool_prefs.browser_cmd when it's set.

This is primarily useful for flatpak support where we cannot just
execute arbitrary commands on the host (unless using flatpak-spawn).

Also, firefox is arguably a bad default these days, given the
declined marked share.
