when trying this

url_open( 'http://yoyogames.com' );

the forward slash will comment out the rest of the code, which destroys the line.

Anyone else facing this?

It's a string, so either use string literals or the correct escape character.

Code:
url_open(@"http://yoyogames.com");

This didn't work. The Gamemaker 2 docs even say to do it like the above which is broken.
It works fine with double quotes, I've just tried it.
Code:
url_open("http://yoyogames.com");
The docs are more than likely copy/pasted from the GMS1 manual without being tested which is why it shows single quotes.

I tried this but it did nothing, will retry

Update: it works but not inside a gm 'play' window
