hii so im very new to linux (literally just got it yesterday) and im a bit confused on how to set a default browser. obv the "preferred applications" thing but i dont see my browser there, nor do i see somewhere where i can browse my files to choose custom

a friend gave me the compressed file cuz there were some issues with getting it normally at the time, and i just extracted that and use it from there
