Opening links in an external browser

Hi,

After playing EVE for about a year I'm left wondering why the game does not have an option to open links in an external browser. The ingame browser is fine for alot of things but lacking in other areas. I keep finding myself having to copy the url and pasting it to an external browser, why not simplify this process with an option to do this automatically?

The ingame browser doesn't do alot things, probably for good reasons at the time, but this copy and paste stuff is tedious. Also I've lost tons of useful EVE related bookmarks over reinstalls because it doesn't save them server side.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, why not allow us to use external browsers? Simple to implement and saves alot of hassle.

Your thoughts?
