Variable: shr-external-browser

shr-external-browser is an alias and customizable for browse-url-secondary-browser-function, defined in shr.el.gz.

This variable is obsolete since 27.1; use browse-url-secondary-browser-function instead.

Value

browse-url-default-browser

Documentation

Function used to launch an alternative browser.

This browser is used as the secondary browser choice, typically when a prefix argument is given to a URL-opening command in those modes that support this (for instance browse-url-at-point, goto-addr-at-point, eww or shr).

This assumption is that browse-url-secondary-browser-function and browse-url-browser-function are set to distinct browsers. Either one of the two functions should call an external browser and the other one should not do the same.

Also see browse-url-browser-function.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 27.1.
