Mine returns the following:
/usr/bin/google-chrome
/usr/bin/iceweasel
/usr/bin/konqueror

$update-alternatives --display x-www-browser
x-www-browser - manual mode
  link currently points to /usr/bin/iceweasel
/usr/bin/google-chrome - priority 120
/usr/bin/iceweasel - priority 70
  slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/iceweasel.1.gz
/usr/bin/konqueror - priority 100
  slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/konqueror.1.gz
Current 'best' version is '/usr/bin/google-chrome'

Got the same.
