TIL python has a webbrowser module

And it's even using the user preferred browser!

Tried it on my MacBook M1 and it opens Brave which is my main browser.

Wonder if it's using the same mechanism as the macOS open(1) command does for opening URLs. Or maybe even calling the /usr/bin/open binary.

This looked innocuous at first glance, but this "antigravity" Easter egg has been found to have security implications.

See "Hacking with Environment Variables", which specifically exploits the antigravity module for arbitrary code execution - https://www.elttam.com/blog/env/#content
