[FIXED] How can I open a site in web browser from command line?

Issue

I want to simply be able to open a website from a curl command. I haven't been able to find anything related as of yet. All the results that pop up are mainly for mobile apps and their respective development languages. I want to be able to do:

curl <some flag or option> google.com

And then the google.com webpage pops up. Is something like this possible?

Solution

Lets collect the various ways to open a URL the default browser:

Ubuntu

sensible-browser google.com or xdg-open google.com.
