Wow what a thread.

I want no bias on the web page that the user will open with his/her
default browser, whatever it is.

i.e. no search engine page. hopefully just their default browser page
opening.

Is there something like about:blank that will open the default page ?

What is the best URL to use when opening a browser.
Something that will try to get to the internet but will not be
political, sales or anything but a benign web page or just blank.


See Char Jackson's reply on May 26:
"This page is pretty simple, responds very quickly, and serves to verify
Internet connectivity:

"


Thanks for that, but the page is kind of an inside joke so I'd be
surprised if anyone actually used it as their default page. Besides, the
big "NO" can be kind of jarring to some folks. :-)

Even so, it does meet some of what I think were the original
requirements.
