Rather than invoking actual browsers directly, you
could write a script that presented you with a list of
options, and you enter your choice. That way, you could
have more that two options. If always having to select
a browser manually is too inefficient, you could
continue to invoke w3m when viewing html, and invoke
this menu-based browser chooser when "printing" html.
