On the Mac, under Python 3.9, the method call
webbrowser.get().name
fails with an OS-level error:This problem goes away under Python 3.11, but I think a better fix would be to remove the call entirely, as on the Mac it just returns
"default"
and on Windows it returns an empty string. So it's kind of pointless.This PR removes the
webbrowser.get().name
call entirely and rewords the docstring and log message text to be generic. Now it works identically on macOS and Windows.
