The fact that Netscape is mentioned in browse-url.el doesn't mean
Emacs recommends it, just that it uses it when it's the only tool to
do a certain job. When a free and a non-free program can be used to
do the same job, Emacs ought to use the free one, though. If you can
spot such cases in browse-url, please report them as bugs.
