Title:
  Cannot make Chromium my default browser

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Dear all,

  After an upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10 I no longer can make Chromium the
  default browser.

  Clicking on the button (see attached screenshot) doesn't make it the
  default browser.

  Can someone reproduce this?

  Thankfully,

  Robert
