In Chromium under Settings > Default browser, there is a popup that
says 'Chromium is your default browser.' There is no button on the
popup to make any changes. It's just an announcement. If you install
Chromium it will be your default browser, and you will like it.

I should add that in Firefox > Settings > Startup it says 'Firefox is
not your default browser,' so the results of the update-alternatives
command are seriously bogus, since they say that Firefox is the default
browser.
