NAME

       clipbrowse - Load a URL from the clipboard into your browser.

USAGE

       # ...copy something # (You might want to do a `clipjoin` if the URL text is messy) $ clipbrowse

       Remember that many browsers will usefully load things that don't look like URL's. For example Firefox
       does a Google "I'm feeling lucky" with non-URLs.  This means you can have any text in your clipboard and
       `clipbrowse`.

MOTIVATION

       It saves a couple of seconds every time you run it.  Chrome and Firefox, for examples, automatically
       create a new tab and loads the page when you invoke it from the command line.  Already we've saved a
       Ctrl+T and a Shift+Insert.  When you consider the parallelizing (that your browser will be actively
       loading the page while you're Alt+Tabbing to it), you've squeaked out a little more.

       Maybe I'm just a freak, but I like shaving out wasted time like that.

CONFIGURATION

       The environment variable $BROWSER will override the default launching command.  If you have a %s in the
       line, it will be replaced with the url.  if not, the url will be appended at the end.

       The default is `chromium-browser "%s"` (Debian's Google Chrome) If you still use Firefox, consider:
       `firefox -remote "openURL(%s,new-tab)"'`.
