I consider the "default browser" as being "the app which I use to open
html files". That means that if I double click on a local html file, I
want it to open in my "default browser". On the contrary, if I double
click on a http://domain.com/toto.ps, I don't want to open it in a
browser to be asked which app should be used to open it, it's better to
directly launch an app which can handle this uri if there is one
available.
