I've sent a follow-up patch with a new title "[PATCH v2] perf tools:
set browser mode
right before setup_browser()" with Namhyung's Acked-by added.

Addressing Namhyung's comment, I've moved the use_browser variable assignment
code below when setup_browser() is called.

Please let me know if it deserves to be in a different place.

Thanks.
