gh-108172: do not override OS preferred browser if it is a super-string of a known browser (GH-113011) When checking if the registering browser is the "OS preferred browser", do not use a substring search - that makes no sense: one can have a preferred browser that looks like a super-string of a known browser, e.g. "firefox-nightly" vs "firefox". https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108172 explains in more detail, and lays out a potential better future enhancement for this case of just using xdg-open. We'll go with this for now. --------- Co-authored-by: Alex Waygood <Alex.Waygood@Gmail.com>
