I don't use any URLs like that, but I did a short test with a website that I have and know the IP address for. So I set a webpage widget for it (I was expecting the error because the IP numbers wouldn't go to a valid page?) but it appeared to load the page correctly.
@rugby I don't have any inside knowledge, but I don't think Freeter is abandoned. Even so, I can't deny that I worry that the support forum is so quiet.
I like this suggestion.
It's not intuitive, but after clicking on the X, you need to click on the Okay button in the top right corner to actually remove the project.
The Activate all workflows when switching project option is remarkable. I have a project that has many Workflows and the time it would take to load was noticeable, and several of the Workflows are rarely used, but still important. Watching the memory of my computer get used up for tabs of widgets that I may not be using today was always a little annoying.
But now I keep that option turned Off nearly everywhere, and Freeter works so much better.
When giving a URL pointing to a site using HTTP authentication, the page stays blank, i.e. no dialog with username / password is shown. This happens with 2.5.0-beta.
I have been working with the Memory Saver settings. I think it is very smart how there is the hierarchy of settings from the Freeter Settings (Ctrl+,) then the Project and down to the Workflow, so preferred defaults can be set and changed if needed at the next level down.
So far, this is all working as I had hoped and for me (as someone who finds themself switching between workflows at unplanned moments) has significantly improved the convenience when using Freeter.
Thanks again.
Thank you for the update and adding the Memory Saver to the different settings! This looks very powerful and flexible, and so I will install the update and see how it goes.
This topic explains where the data is. After making any significant changes in Freeter, I always make a copy of the folder. (It also allow me to transfer workflows to another computer.)

Agree about how good Freeter is!
The Link Opener is for stuff on the internet (URLs) while the File Opener is for content on your computer's disk.
Hovering the mouse over the ? of each widget shows a brief description of what the widget does.
