…r-string of a known browser (pythonGH-113011) When checking if the registering browser is the "OS preferred browser", do not use a substring search - that makes no sense: one can have a preferred browser that looks like a super-string of a known browser, e.g. "firefox-nightly" vs "firefox". python#108172 explains in more detail, and lays out a potential better future enhancement for this case of just using xdg-open. We'll go with this for now. --------- (cherry picked from commit 10bf615) Co-authored-by: Oded Arbel <oded@geek.co.il> Co-authored-by: Alex Waygood <Alex.Waygood@Gmail.com>
