Yeah, for some reason I thought a patch like this might as well not
leave any dead code behind.

BROWSER is checked by xdg-open anyway. DEFAULT_BROWSER would indeed be
no longer consulted.

That's what I considered doing at first, but when I drilled a few
methods into the code, I decided that it's very unlikely to work and I
don't want to check it empirically due to the painfully long
compile-times.

I don't think there's much point, as that code becomes dead when
xdg-open is always found.

Perhaps applying the patch in a phase instead of (source _) would help?

See PATCHv2, which uses a much more minimal approach, but leaves some
dead stuff that isn't likely to be optimized by the compiler. Caring
about this might not be rational, now that I think about it...

You seem to be misreading the code. If xdg-open is available, it is
used, the browser list is only used when xdg-open isn't found.

As mentioned above, the list would never be read, since xdg-open would
always be found.
