BrowserSelect — select browser dynamically silent install & uninstall

Browser Select is a utility to dynamically select the browser you want instead of just having one default for all links.

Commands for installing BrowserSelect — select browser dynamically without prompts, removing it again and detecting it from deployment tools. A command is shown only when it is certain: from the manifest or the installer technology’s documented default.
