Open url in browser, from shell script on android

Question

I need to open url from shell script on android, in lightning or at least in default browser. To open browser I use following code:

#!/bin/sh
monkey -p  acr.browser.barebones -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1

This is not duplicate as I need not only default browser.

To start browser on home page:

root@dolphin-fvd-p1:/opt/etc # cat StartBrowser                                                                 
#!/bin/sh
