"URL scheme that `browse-url' (and related commands) will use by default.
-For example, when point is on an URL fragment like
-\"www.example.org\", `browse-url' will assume that this is an
-\"http\" URL by default (i.e. \"http://www.example.org\").

-Note that if you set this to \"https\", websites that do not yet
-support HTTPS may not load correctly in your web browser. Such
