I'm interested in being able to inventory which browser our users have configured as their default browser. Does anyone have a method in place for this that they could share?



I've recently come across defaultbrowser found at https://github.com/kerma/defaultbrowser. It looks like with a little scripting an extension attribute could be created where this could loop through all user profiles on a machine and inventory what the default browser is. As life would have it I'm not too advanced at scripting yet to just whip this out so I thought I would see if anyone else has already done the work and would like to share.

The com.apple.LaunchServices.plist in each user's home preferences folder holds the information about which applications are set to open certain types of links or files. You can script it to pull that information per user, but it would come in the form like "com.apple.safari" for example, if Safari is the default, "org.mozilla.firefox" if Firefox is set as the default and so on.
If you need a script to do that, just post back.
