When compiled with -ldflags "-H windowsgui", browser.OpenURL does not work at all.

I'm sorry, I don't use Windows so I don't have a way to test o fix this. If you can fix it, please send a PR

Thanks @davecheney . The error seems to be The handle is invalid which simply means there is no console to run the start command to open the browser.

The only way I could so far find is to attach or allocate a console, and then open the url, as described in http://stackoverflow.com/a/23744350 .

This is not the ideal case.

@davecheney can you please take a look at #8? Thanks!

WSL support should now work via forking out to x-www-browser or www-browser, more OS specific commands (but ideally not WSL specific) can be added if needed.
