https://github.com/pld-linux/xdg-utils/commit/d00c89c373952fc89dc6179ad327785236a54782 MATE support was incomplete in b961235b197647d6649ef3d48d7cc2cecafe3d47 it did not add support for xdg-settings which Google Chrome/Chromium uses to detect and set default browser. MATE 1.5 uses same schema as gnome3, so shortcut to gnome3 methods testcases: $ xdg-settings get default-web-browser chromium-browser.desktop $ xdg-settings check default-web-browser chromium-browser.desktop yes
