If the blank page problem persists, try disabling any extensions you have, close the browser, and re-open it. If you uninstalled and reinstalled your browser, simply type a new URL into the box or section. Most browsers provide past or pre-included options that can make it easier for you. If you changed your home page to a blank one, as previously mentioned, just go to settings and set your homepage to whatever you like. Many antivirus and anti-malware programs now use blank pages to prevent dangerous URLs from executing code or tricking you into taking action. Removing malware from your PC can also lead to missing files and settings within the browser, which didn’t get repaired/replaced after the malware was removed.Īside from the above two scenarios, you should probably leave the about:blank functionality alone.
If you get blank pages regularly, you would want to stop malware or viruses first because they can corrupt the browser, and then you can uninstall and reinstall Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or whatever you use.
