Er, what?  This is Emacs.  M-x is important, and lots of people use it.

This is especially true for something like this browser, which I
expect people will only use occasionally (most people will have a
standard web browser available most of the time)

A defalias is trivial and works well anyway, so there's no reason
_not_ to have it...
