Overview

Package browser implements functions for opening a web browser.

This package also allows opening an URL back at the original host when run from an SSH session. In order for this to work, SSH agent forwarding must be enabled, the initial host must have SSH running on port 22 and the local and remote usernames must match. Otherwise a local browser is opened.
