I've searched through the archives, but this questions doesn't seem to
have had an answer yet. I'm trying to get a list of available
browsers. I know how to get the default browser, but not how to get a
list of all of them.
Does anyone know how to do this?
The list of browsers that appears in the Internet pref. pane is located
here:
/System/Library/PreferencePanes/Internet.prefPane/Contents/Resources/
{localization}.lproj/DefaultHelperApps.plist
However, I wouldn't recommend relying on that file, since it doesn't
list every helper app. It only lists MSIE at this time. Right now, just
about the only way to go about determining which browsers are installed
is to manually use Launch Services to look up their creator codes or
bundle identifiers...
