Dear Maintainer,
Please review the email from chromium.org regarding this issue
Comment #8 on issue 552139 by thestig at chromium.org: Chromium is not default
browser
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=552139
Please report this bug to Debian's chromium package. They changed their
Chromium package name from "chromium-browser" to "chromium". Thus the .desktop
file also changed from "chromium-browser.desktop" to "chromium.desktop".
However, Chromium's source code still refers to chromium-browser.desktop in
chrome/browser/ui/libgtk2ui/gtk2_util.cc and
chrome/browser/shell_integration_linux.cc. Ubuntu and other Linux distros still
name their file chromium-browser.desktop.
Alternatively, Debian's chromium package can automatically set the
CHROME_DESKTOP environment variable to chromium.desktop at run time, if they do
not wish to modify the code.
You can do the same locally. Instead of running: chromium
run: CHROME_DESKTOP=chromium.desktop chromium
Then set the browser as default. After that, it should be the default, and as
long as you have CHROME_DESKTOP=chromium.desktop set, Chromium will not prompt
you about the default browser anymore.
