I have used that a few times with -runStyle Manual (e.g. -runStyle Manual:3 and you open the given URL in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer) That said, I haven't used it much so I don't really care; but you'll have to make sure you update the ManualRunStyle when removing that feature. I think HtmlUnitRunStyle also supports it (e.g. -runStyle HtmlUnit:FF17,IE9,Chrome)
