It's very simple. Just try:

start chrome https://www.google.co.in/

it will open the Google page in the Chrome browser.

If you wish to open the page in Firefox, try:

start firefox https://www.google.co.in/

Have Fun!

assuming chrome is his default browser: start http://url.site.you.com/path/to/joke should open that url in his browser.
