I have two web browsers installed on my system (arch with i3 wm): qutebrowser and chromium.
I have the following set
As well as the default applications (in mimeapps.list)
When clicking on a URL anywhere else in my system (e.g. terminal), qutebrowser is open as expected. However, okular instead launches chromium when a URL link is clicked. I cannot determine why. The okular handbook says "the default KDE handler" will be invoked on clicking a link - what might this refer to on my system (if the above is not a bug)? Any help would be appreciated. |

I do not have the Desktop environment (Plasma) installed so cannot check this setting.
Is it perhaps possible to edit this setting via a configuration file in ~/.config? I can currently only see kdeglobals which has the content

Hi,
I had (until 5 minutes ago) the same problem: arch with i3, no kdesettings application to immediately change default browser, and okular alone opens hyperlinks in firefox instead of brave. $ xdg-settings get default-web-browser brave-browser.desktop Thanks for the suggestion about kdeglobals. Adding the following to the end of .config/kdeglobals solved this for me: [General] BrowserApplication=brave-browser.desktop |

Thanks for sharing what worked for you. In fact, since I made the original post (over 2 years ago) it seems some KDE update resolved the issue for me personally, but I've made a note of the BrowserApplication directive if the behaviour returns, and am sure others landing on this page will find it useful - thanks! |
