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)
