BTW, I've made functions to browse and copy URL in Emacs[2][3]. - `C-c b' to browse the URL at point - `C-c y' to copy the URL at point You can customize which browser is used to browse an URL with `gu-first-browse-url-function' and `gu-second-browse-url-function' (by default it uses `browse-url-browser-function' and `browse-url-generic'). The first one is used by default, the second one when you use a prefix (`C-u C-c b').
