+ [Impact]
+
+ The 'sensible-browser' and 'xdg-open' commands are very useful, but it's
+ a bit unwieldy to use everywhere in docs. 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'.
