webbrowser 
webbrowser provides a simple API for opening web pages on your default browser.
It's inspired on Python's webbrowser package but lacks some of its features (open new window).
It just opens a webpage, most browsers will open it on a new tab.
Installation
As simple as:
go get -u github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser
Usage
package main
import "github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser"
func main() {
webbrowser.Open("http://golang.org")
}
That's it!
Crossplatform support
The package works on:
android(verified by 3rd party)darwinfreebsd(verified by 3rd party)linuxnetbsd(verified by 3rd party)openbsd(verified by 3rd party)windows

Miki Tebeka wrote a nicer version that wasn't on godoc.org when I did this, check it out!.
Already disliking it?
No problem! There's alternative libraries that may be better to your needs:
- https://github.com/pkg/browser, it does what webbrowser does and more!
- https://github.com/skratchdot/open-golang, it even provides a
xdg-openimplementation in case you don't have it!
