Open a webpage without using webview

Question

I'd like to open a webpage using the webbrowser on the device. Right now I use a WebView, but I want to let the user choose between Chrome, Safari or any other webbrowser currently on the device. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

var url = "http://www.google.com";
Device.OpenUri(new Uri(url));

And this uses the default browser to open the url.
