Research direction

The issue identifies the Python standard-library webbrowser component but names no file or test. Start by locating the webbrowser module and its browser-specific launch paths, then clarify which browsers and private-mode option semantics are required. Done means the supported scope and expected behavior are agreed and covered by tests.
