Sounds like you dont want emacs then. If you do, then you need to customise it. I always browse URLS externally generally by hitting enter on a url using the settings above. Want to do it internally? Its something as simple as (define-key mode-specific-map [?u] 'w3m-browse-url) since I always have firefox (iceweasel) open its faster than using w3m generally. If I want a web url I generally want to see it was it was intended. w3m cant do that more often than not.
