after this commit, and because of this line the # character used to point to a specific line/range of lines is escaped, causing the opened URL to look like this: <path_to_file>%5C#<lines> which results in 404 Not Found error. Confirmed this by removing the escape() call from the mentioned line and re-building neovim
A possible fix would be to use netrw#Open() if available, and update the escaping to match. That way older versions of Vim can still work with the old behavior of netrw#BrowseX().
