--- Comment #11 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Ok, what I think makes sense is to fall back on KIO when there are no web
browsers installed (unlikely). When one is manually installed, it will usually
set itself as the default--but in ~/.config/mimeapps.list, not
~/.config/kdeglobals. Which is fine, since changing the browser setting in
componentchooser updates mimeapps.list too so that don't get out of sync.

It will be up to distros to pre-populate these files with their desired default
browsers, but that's already the case, so no regressions should be introduced.
I'll also change the componentchooser KCM so that the default browser shown in
the combobox is identical to what's listed in ~/.config/mimeapps.list if
there's nothing in kdeglobals.

Here are the patches:
- KIO: https://phabricator.kde.org/D17371
- Plasma: https://phabricator.kde.org/D17372
