Try this:

cursor = self.textBrowser.textCursor()
cursor.clearSelection()
self.textBrowser.setTextCursor(cursor)

The cursor that is returned by self.textBrowser.textCursor() is only a copy of the textCursor being used. To apply the changes to the text browser, you must operate on the copy and then set the text browsers textCursor to the modified version.
