Why not leave it to the system to determine which app to use? If I have (for example) Chrome installed and perfer to use Chrome, I'll be a bit pissed that you forced the default browser on me.

This should work:

final Uri uri = Uri.parse(filePath);
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
browserIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
context.startActivity(browserIntent);
