open chrome browser with golang function

openbrowser.go

// openBrowser tries to open the URL in a browser,
// and returns whether it succeed in doing so.
func openBrowser(url string) bool {
	var args []string
	switch runtime.GOOS {
	case "darwin":
		args = []string{"open"}
	case "windows":
		args = []string{"cmd", "/c", "start"}
	default:
		args = []string{"xdg-open"}
	}
	cmd := exec.Command(args[0], append(args[1:], url)...)
	return cmd.Start() == nil
}

Windows 10 fails to open URLs containing ampersands(&) because they are interpreted as a command separator by cmd.exe, they need to be escaped by a caret(^) i.e. strings.Replace(url, "&", "^&", -1) helps in my special case, but I don't know if that's a better approach in general.

@Lercher You can also use explore "url". I have tested explore "https://google.com" and explore "http://127.0.0.1:8080" on my Windows10 laptop.

Great!!

If multiple browsers are installed on the system（chrome, chromium etc.）, does it must to specify the browser installation path?

strings.Replace(url, "&", "^&", -1)
