A non-nil interactive prefix argument reverses | the effect of `browse-url-new-window-flag'. | | When called non-interactively, optional second argument NEW-WINDOW is | used instead of `browse-url-new-window-flag'. | | The order attempted is gnome-moz-remote, Mozilla, Firefox, | Galeon, Konqueror, Netscape, Mosaic, Lynx in an xterm, and then W3. | | [back] `---- The only thing that is related to 'default' is it uses url around point by default. But the name is misleading, for example, emacs-w3m uses it to open a default external browser, but it will open bizarre browsers on OS X or Windows. I wonder if the function name can be improved, for example, browse-url-try-browsers. Thanks. Leo
