How can I keep gx functionality without netrw

• nvim-tree.lua

  A file explorer tree for neovim written in lua

  

So I just noticed that nvim-tree.lua disables netrw by default, which I kinda like because netrw is not that great. However, one thing that I do use a lot is gx (for opening the URL under my cursor in my web browser), which is provided by netrw. How could I keep (or replicate) the functionality of gx without netrw?
