Thanks. And sorry for the late answer.

The hardcoded browser variants are only for fallback. You can change
the used browser in the preferences dialog on the tab Tools.

Yes. What do you need? Perhaps we will make the filetype system
modular, sometime.

Will come sometime.

it needs runtime. Sorry.

similar to gcc's one). Regexps can be done, sometime. Patches are
welcome ;-).
