# Configures system to use /usr/bin/torbrowser as default browser #
Sets /usr/bin/x-www-browser to /usr/bin/torbrowser.
Sets /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser to /usr/bin/torbrowser.
Sets BROWSER environment variable to /usr/bin/x-www-browser by using
/etc/profile.d/ and /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ hooks.
Registers of MIME type handlers to 'torbrowser'.
Sets KDE's default browser to x-www-browser. This only takes effect for newly
created user accounts. Not for existing user accounts. This is most useful to
help Linux distribution maintainers setting divergent defaults.
