There are 3 commands that set default browser in diffrent ways (why didn't they made it a single Command?)
14+
15+
<Steps>
16+
17+
1. ## Set Default for most general Launches
18+
19+
**Pupose** : controls which browser to Lauch when another app (Like Login with Google button in Zoom) calls the default browser
20+
21+
```sh
22+
xdg-settings set default-web-browser name_of_the_browser_file.desktop
23+
```
24+
25+
2. ## Set Default for cli tools or Scripts
26+
27+
Terminal tools or scripts that call the `x-www-browser` command
28+
29+
```sh
30+
sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
31+
```
32+
33+
then it shows a list of Browsers to Choose from, enter the Serial number of the browser as shown in the list
34+
35+
3. ## Set default for Antix Specific things
36+
37+
Icons like the `Web Browser Icon` that opens Deafult Web browser based on Antix's Configurations
38+
39+
```sh
40+
desktop-defaults-set browser name_of_the_browser_file.desktop
41+
```
