How often do you click on a link outside of the context of a browser? The default browser setting I think is almost irrelevant.

Email clients, irc clients, terminal, in emacs.

Hum, clicking on links from emails. How that could possibly go wrong?

Try working in an enterprise. I click links from emails to Jira/Confluence/Sharepoint all the time from Outlook. Do I want to use any of these tools? No, but I and tens of thousands of other employees have to on a daily basis in my workplace.
