browse-url.el has the ability to load web pages in a new tab, instead of
a new window. Since there is no universal standard for opening web pages
in a browser, every browser does that in its own way (Firefox uses the
-remote/-new-tab arguments, chromium always opens the URL in a new
tab). Since xdg-open's job is just to provide default applications, the
"responsibility" falls on emacs itself.
