The user might not know what x-www-browser is, since it gets set
automatically by the debian package manager. We could let the user
know how to update this link, although I am not sure if it is used on
non-debian based distros.

if type -f update-alternatives > /dev/null
    printf (_ "You may change the default browser by
entering:\nupdate-alternatives --config x-www-browser")
end

I get the following on my debian machine when I enter:
update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

There are 3 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing
/usr/bin/x-www-browser).

  Selection    Path                       Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/epiphany-browser   85        auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/chromium-browser   40        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/epiphany-browser   85        manual mode
  3            /usr/bin/iceweasel          70        manual mode

Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
