I recall a discussion about this earlier, when someone proposed a
patch for Opera, and that someone didn't think Emacs should support
non-free browsers like Opera.  The XEmacs folks didn't have that
concern, though, so the patch was applied to that version of
browse-url.el.

If you think this decision should be reconsidered, for Emacs, I think
it has to be discussed on emacs-devel@gnu.org.
