How do I direct a user to the browser's home page

I have a facility which sends the user an email with a button to revisit the web app.
When the user uses the emailed button I want to be able to send the user to their browser’s home page when they are finished.
I want to be able to read the browser home page setting.

What have you tried so far? If you post your code here along with where you got stuck, you will find people will give you a hand.

I haven’t been able to do anything as I can not find out what the web browser home page setting is.
When I can read the browser settings and get the home page url, I can let the button event handler use it.
I just need to know how to read the browser settings.

There used to be a way with window.home() but that became non-standard and isn’t well supported now.

You might find better success redirecting to “about:home” but that’s not guaranteed either.

Recommendations now are to use a success / thank you page, and give instructions to the user to press Alt+Home if they want to take themself to their own home page.
