Chromium as default web browser

Each desktop environment has their own way of setting default applications. You should find a "preferred applications" or "default applications" option in the configuration manager for each of gnome, xfce4, and kde4 (gnome-control-center, xfce4-settings-manager, and systemsettings, respectively).

One easy way to set up default browser is to install devel/xdg-utils (nut sure if actually needed, but I use xdg-utils anyway) and set BROWSER environment variable
For minimalist desktops, this turns out to work pretty well
