And then somewhere in the back the browser open pages and the users wonder 
why nothing happens. Later they close the application and wonder why the 
browser shows so much stupid pages. I've seen this happen to often to 
accept such a solution as standard behaviour. Opening webpages in an 
external and uncontrollable browser is a crude workaround.
