   class webbrower.MacOSX is untested and undocumented. It is also not used by webbrowser itself (webbrowser.MacOSXOSAScript is used to launch browsers).

   It's probably safe to just remove the class, otherwise deprecate in 3.10 for removal in 3.11.

   Let's deprecate it from 3.11 and remove it at 3.12 :)

   Dong-hee Na, you can't remove it in 3.12 per PEP-387:

   Unless it is going through the deprecation process below, the behavior of an API must not change in an incompatible fashion between any two consecutive releases. Python's yearly release process (PEP-602) means that the deprecation period must last at least two years.

   and:

   Wait for the warning to appear in at least two minor Python versions of the same major version.
