Sometimes with Linux, and especially Arch, you get so into trying to find a solution to a small problem that's annoying you that when you finally find the answer it can be so obvious it makes you feel a bit stupid. You're usually in a forum somewhere on your 100th googling.
I'd spent about an hour altogether with my Arch box trying to make Chromium the default browser. For some reason links from the terminal were opening in Firefox. I was messing around with ~/.xinitrc, exports, xdg-open and all kinds of things, but to no avail. I finally found a short, self-answered post with the solution.
Changing the default browser in Arch was as simple as opening up the System Info application and clicking Default Browser. Admittedly, this is not the first place you would think to look when trying to change a major setting like this, but that's where it is, and still made me feel like I'd wasted an hour hacking about.
