sensible-browser makes sensible decisions on which web browser to call. Programs in Debian can use this script as their default web browser or emulate their behavior.
BROWSER environment variable could be set, and will be used if set. Any string acceptable as a command_string operand to the sh -c command shall be valid (this is the same behavior of the EDITOR variable as documented in environ(7)).
