Created attachment 359608 [details] patch to browse-url.el to allow emacs to use chromium Description of problem: Now that there is an experimental port of Google Chromium to Fedora, it would be nice to be able to use Chromium as emacs's default browser too. Here is the patch to do that. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.5) of 2009-08-26 on xenbuilder4.fedora.phx.redhat.com How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. start emacs 2. type a url into a buffer, or find a file with a url 3. position the cursor on the url and type 4. M-x browse-url Actual results: Emacs starts some lame browser, probably firefox Expected results: Emacs starts a new shiny browser like Chromium. ;-) Additional info: the package emacs-vm could user some roto-tilling. It predates browse-url.el and therefore tries to duplicate much of that functionality. As a stopgap one can set this on one's emacs init file, but it is probably best to just do that in vm itself. (setq vm-url-browser browse-url-browser-function)
