My default browser is Chrome, which on machines I've gotten lately is
pre-installed.  Either when I start it and paste in the local URL, or when
I click the icon of a file in "ES File Explorer," Chrome displays local web
pages such as

file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.jsoftware.android.qtide/files/addons/docs/helpX/index.htm

I've tried "boat browser" and confirmed that it does something that makes J
use it, and so local web pages work when it is installed.

However, Chrome, Dolphin and Firefox do not make the same changes.  Other
programs ask which app to use to view a local file until you set one of
these as a default.  This J does the same thing the first time a remote web
page is viewed, but not locally.

I haven't tried this version on older machines, but the previous version
asked which browser to use for both local and remote URLs.
