Hi guys, what are you all using to set the default web browser in 10.11.6?. I have tried duti and krema-default browser. but both prompt the user to confirm. Is anyone using a seamless, no user interaction method or a profile they could share

Thanks

How are you using kerma/defaultbrowser? I'm using it with great success in student environment with no interaction.

Created a package, deploying default browser to a location like /usr/local/bin/ and then deploying a LaunchAgent that runs at load every time. Using a couple of settings, every time the mac is rebooted the browser is reset to Safari without question.

Hope that helps.

How are you able to suppress the message? I created a LaunchAgent for defaultbrowser and I still get the window that pops up asking me if I want to keep Firefox or set it to Chrome.
