`browser.id in ids` also matches Object.prototype keys. A default browser whose id collides with a prototype key (the Windows ProgId comes from the user-writable HKCU registry) passed the check, resolved to an inherited function through ids[id], and produced apps[function] === undefined — launching a bogus "undefined" app instead of failing with "X is not supported as a default browser". Use Object.hasOwn and throw the unsupported-browser error for any id that does not map to a known browser.

No, it's not realistic. |

But it's a good hardening, even though it has no practical effect. |

Use
Object.hasOwn(ids, browser.id)and throw the existing unsupported-browser error for any id that does not map to a known browser.Test
test/proto-keys.jslocks the own-property semantics the fix relies on.
