  Ah, I see. (comes from https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/103524). I think the reasoning was "after I set Firefox as my browser app, local HTML files still open in konqueror... bug!!! I shouldn't have to configure it twice".
  But actually we get more flexibility if we don't mix up the two things. I.e. a user should be able to choose a browser *and* choose kate for local html files.
  
  So I vote for
  
  1. setting the handler for text/html from here (if it's another BrowserApp)
  2. removing the text/html hack in KRun
  
  This way in the simple case, both HTTP and *.html open in your preferred browser,
  but for more advanced users it's still possible to open HTML files in something else.
  
  PS: keditbookmarks shows up in the combo because it's been tagged WebBrowser, I guess for menu organization purposes. But it's not a webbrowser, so I'm not sure how to fix that...
