It doesn't.  The web browser waits for something to answer it.  Go on,
try to get your web browser to connect to a non-existent server, it
doesn't immediately stop looking.  If you load up a page that might try
waiting for a dozen different things before it will proceed and let you
read something, it's a pain.

And, in my case, I do have a local webserver running.
