Hm, right.  The change on master is too invasive for Emacs 28, though,
so perhaps something like the following would be better:

diff --git a/lisp/net/browse-url.el b/lisp/net/browse-url.el
index ccb4e12a9f..6c86b8fab7 100644
--- a/lisp/net/browse-url.el

Which reverts to Emacs 27.2 behaviour for these files.
