When you hit RET on a link in shr/eww, it uses the browse-url browser to
follow the link. If you hit `C-u RET', it uses the
`shr-external-browser' browser.
It's been that way for some months now, and I must say I really like
that. I have eww set as the default browser, and quite a few web pages
display well enough in eww, and it's much more pleasant to read those
web pages inside Emacs.
And when I know that the link points to a page that eww is unlikely to
cope with, I just hit `C-u RET' and get a Firefox browser window popping
up.
So now I want all URL links in Emacs to work that way, like in erc mode,
etc.
Does this make sense to people? If so, I think browse-url itself should
be extended with a browse-url-external-browser variable, and then the
`browse-url' function itself should use these two variables, instead of
shr implementing this stuff itself...
