How about aliasing to the simple 'browse', so I can recommend things like: sudo apt install foo; browse http://locahost:2022/ That would be crisp clean and friendly for current users. [Test Case] There is currently no simple 'browse' command. [Regression Potential] None. There are no name collisions with /usr/bin/browse in Debian or Ubuntu. [ Other Info ] Although the original request was to alias 'sensible-browser' it was decided that 'xdg-open' has the more consistent behaviour (in terms of selecting the correct web browser to use) and also falls back to 'sensible-browser'.
