newsflash rss reader opens link on other browser not the default browser

I am trying newsflash on my pop_os 24.04. One issue that I encountered immediately is that it opens the link on firefox while my set default browser is brave. Did a quick consultation with gemini and the following workaround fix the issue.

add the following lines on 

~/.config/mimeapps.list

x-scheme-handler/http=com.brave.Browser.desktop

x-scheme-handler/https=com.brave.Browser.desktop

text/html=com.brave.Browser.desktop

 

run the following command

update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications

and viola the links are now opening on my default browser (brave).
