How to open a URL with emacs from the Windows command line

Here's how start emacs with a URL from the Windows command line so you can surf a website, using emacs built-in and very fast and stable text browser.

cd C:\Program Files\Emacs\emacs-28.2\bin
emacs --eval "(eww \"https://google.com\")"

Result





























This will open emacs, but the command window will still wait until the emacs client in closed. 

To get around this and this long command line, use my Clipboard Plaintext PowerTool 




Copy URL and launch Emacs text browser in 1-click! :)
