I don't think this will do anything for any currently (or previously)
shipping web browsers. Unless an application actually links to a library
(in which case it'll require it) it doesn't run any of the code therein.
Offhand I think that library is used by the HTML help viewer in 9.x, and
possibly by Sherlock (Sherlock definitely uses "URL Access"). Browsers like
MSIE, iCab, etc. use their own HTML rendering engines.

Upgrading 8.6 to the 9.x version is unlikely to hurt, though. You can also
try other subsystems, like all of Open Transport and Remote Access. Just make
sure you get everything (ie. try not to mix different versions of closely
associated extensions), and hold onto the old versions in case some weird
problem crops up later.
