Actually that's not something I have an opinion on.  I addressed the
original question because I know it would be technically possible to set
a BROWSER variable under Windows.  Yes, an unlikely move, but possible.

A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing 
which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety, 
is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made 
and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
