You can also use QDesktopServices::openUrl.

Here's the minimal working example,

from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt6.QtCore import QUrl
from PyQt6.QtGui import QDesktopServices

import sys

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
url = QUrl("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3684857/pyqt4-open-website-in-standard-browser-on-button-click")
QDesktopServices.openUrl(url)

If you use Qt5, please import from PyQt5.Qt

from PyQt5.Qt import QApplication, QUrl, QDesktopServices
