I'm not sure this is an improvement, but it's easy to do:

1.  Create your own "print.help_files_with_topic" function, copied from 
the private one in utils:

print.help_files_with_topic <- utils:::print.help_files_with_topic

2.  Edit it so it doesn't replace the browser when .Platform$GUI == 
"AQUA" && type == "html".

That's it  ---  now it will respect your choice of getOption("browser").
