Describe the solution you would like

I managed to find a way to set Cromite as the default browser:

1. Create a file called chromium-browser.desktop under /usr/share/applications, with the content:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.1
Name=Cromite
GenericName=Browser
Comment=Launch Cromite.
Exec=(path to cromite folder)/chrome
Icon=(path to cromite folder)/product_logo_48.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application

2. Execute sudo xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium-browser.desktop in the terminal
3. Go to Cromite's settings and make it the default browser.

I would like all of this to automatically happen when you try to make Cromite the default browser from settings. Thanks in advance for considering the feature request!

Well no, nothing happens at all when I click on "Make default". It only works after following my method.
