A lot of players play the scandinavian online, i.e 1e4 d5
This is a interesting sideline which is promising for white, especially in speed chess and online.
1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qa5 4. Bc4
Typically, Black develops the knight on f6, plays c7-c6 to move the queen back to c7.
4..Nf6 5. d3 c6 6. Bd2 Qc7
Here White can either play positionally with 7 Nf3, or decide to be more ambitious with 7 Qe2 preparing 0-0-0 and advancing f,g and h pawns.
Visually, I am representing in the next diagram the possibilities for White
The main line is as follows with 7 Qe2
7. Qe2 Bf5 8. h3 e6 9. g4 Bg6 10. f4 Be7 11. Nf3 Nbd7 12. O-O-O
Black must find counterplay as White is already threatening f4-f5! in the diagram above.
If you want to play more positionally, the line with 7 Nf3 goes like this:
7. Nf3 Bg4 8. h3 Bxf3 9. Qxf3 e6
White can still play g2-g4 in this line, attacking f7 after g4-g5. White can castle 0-0 or even 0-0-0.
