This is very exciting!

Integration with the Control Panel would be slick. This kind of functionality seems like a natural fit there. But I think it would be perfectly acceptable to have a simple Python app. Either way, the GUI will be key to giving the functionality a wide audience.

BTW, if you're still undecided on a name, another possibility if you're interested in going the "dry but self-explanatory" route, occurred to me: Set Default Browser.
