<pre>These two functions in URL are causing confusion:
const URL& blankURL()
{
static NeverDestroyed<URL> staticBlankURL(ParsedURLString, "about:blank");
return staticBlankURL;
}
bool URL::isBlankURL() const
{
return protocolIs("about");
}
We should consolidate into one notion of a blank URL and make sure callers get what they are expecting. This might require a new isAboutURL() function or similar.</pre>
