There is a lot of cruft accumulated in browse-url.el mostly for old browsers with different handling of command line arguments for "new-window-is-tab" logic. But it seems nowadays only three options should be sufficient: - use the default browser found by browse-url-default-browser; - or use Emacs browser eww; - or allow to specify a browser program name with additional arguments.
