Add the following:

9

[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/http=chromium-browser.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=chromium-browser.desktop
x-scheme-handler/ftp=chromium-browser.desktop

[Default Applications]
x-scheme-handler/http=chromium-browser.desktop

Then open up Chromium and set it as the default browser.
