Open web browser with absolute path
On macOS, web browsers are opened via popen calling osascript. However,
if a user has a colliding osascript executable earlier in their PATH,
this may fail or cause unwanted behaviour.
Depending on one's environment or level of paranoia, this may be considered a security vulnerability.
