The sensible-browser command is a Linux command that is used to open a URL or HTML file in the user's preferred web browser.

When you run the command sensible-browser, it checks the system's default web browser configuration and opens the specified URL or file in that browser. It ensures that the user's personal settings and preferences for the web browser are honored.

The purpose of this command is to provide a consistent and predictable way to open web content across different Linux distributions, as different distributions may have different default web browsers.

For example, if you were to run the command sensible-browser https://www.example.com, it would open the URL https://www.example.com in your default web browser.

Note that the sensible-browser command is not available on all Linux distributions. Some distributions may use other commands, such as xdg-open or gnome-open, to achieve similar functionality.
