Please file a bug or merge request against cinnamon-desktop-environment to ask them to either remove the www-browser alternative or replace it with gnome-www-browser. The browser is a recommended dependency not a hard dependency, in part because we want people to have the freedom to use a Flatpak or Snap version instead, so it's ok to not list every single alternative or use a virtual package like gnome-www-browser.
