If you get this error: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, 
w3 and you want to use w3m

Customize the variable

browse-url-browser-function

select @ for own function

and set it to w3m-browse-url

(I've been down this road so many times, this is for me to find when I 
come back searching).

Yes, I have that as well:

    (setq browse-url-browser-function #'w3m-browse-url)

Its original value is
`browse-url-default-browser', so perhaps that
means the thought is you should tell Emacs that
Emacs w3m is your default browser and that'll
handle it.

One can always ask at gmane.emacs.w3m;
I crosspost this there.

It's too late to ask now I think. I have it working. Is there a 
different browser called w3? different from w3m? It was w3 which was on 
the list of values and I tend to select it because it's the only one 
which looks close to w3m.

Yes. w3 and w3m are two distinct browsers:

 · https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/w3
 · http://w3m.sourceforge.net/

I prefer the one built in to GNU Emacs these days, shr.
