Huh ?? I think you misunderstood the role of emacs-w3m :/
emacs-w3m *is* a browser and use w3m.

If you don't want emacs-w3m to process html or web link, then you
have to customize browser-url-browser-function variable which
docstring says:

,----[ C-h v browse-url-browser-function RET ]
| browse-url-browser-function's value is 
| browse-url-lynx-emacs
| 
| *Function to display the current buffer in a WWW browser.
| This is used by the `browse-url-at-point', `browse-url-at-mouse', and
| `browse-url-of-file' commands.
| 
| If the value is not a function it should be a list of pairs
| (REGEXP . FUNCTION).  In this case the function called will be the one
| associated with the first REGEXP which matches the current URL.  The
| function is passed the URL and any other args of `browse-url'.  The last
| regexp should probably be "." to specify a default browser.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| Defined in `browse-url'.
