Konsole should open the default browser set in KDE. You can check that in systemsettings -> Workspace Appearance and Behavior -> Default Applications -> Web Browser IIRC some browsers allow you to 'set them as default' somewhere in their menu (usually as an annoying popup at startup, until you disable it ;) which should work with kde.. (at least i think it worked the last time i tested it with chromium... but i mostly set it up manualy) yoyo
