I want to simply be able to open a website in a browser from the command line. I haven't been able to find anything related as of yet. All the results that pop up are mainly for mobile apps and their respective development languages. I want to be able to do something like:
curl <some flag or option> google.com
And then the google.com webpage pops up. Is something like this possible?
Lets collect the various ways to open a URL the default browser:
Ubuntu
sensible-browser google.com
or
xdg-open google.com.
