Hello, Xfce project doesn't have a web browser (i think it did had
midori years ago, but it seems abandoned), so I think it's reasonable to
leave the choice to users.

Closing, thanks.

If you install XFCE and you want to start the webbrowser via the bottom
line or the Applications menu, you get a dialog "Choose Preferred
Application" instead of a launching web browser.

That's because no web browser is installed with XFCE.
