Responsively-app: Option to set blank page on application launch

[alanw83]

🚀 Feature Request

📝 Description

On launching the application all the viewpoints are refreshed and load Google.com. Please add an option to have it load a blank page so we don't have to wait for them all to load before using the application.

✨ Describe the solution you'd like

Blank page on startup checkbox in the settings menu.

Meanwhile, you can always set a lighter website or even a blank html file as your homepage from your own file system

Thankyou blank html does load faster

@manojVivek should we go and make a special blank or lighter default home or do you think that https://github.com/responsively-org/responsively-app/issues/521#issuecomment-715629147 is enough ?

@jjavierdguezas to be specific the issue I have is 9 devices loading when I launch the app. They still take time loading from local drive its just faster.

Maybe having an option to not refresh the devices every time the application is launched is a better solution?

@jjavierdguezas I think we should have a user preference option to set the default URL to load on start, that can have options as "Blank" or "Homepage".

What do you think about this?

Could I have a go at this? Is it assigned to anyone yet?
