The patch does not change the existing history support of browse-url,
so 'usurp' feels harsh.

I could make the argument that URLs visited via browse-url are
passed to an external browser, so it's not up to Emacs to remember
that history, unlike ones visited internally using EWW.

There appears to be quite a mix of those two styles in NEWS. I'll see
what I can do to cut down the initial sentence.
