Hi,
I am not sure if this is an intended consequence but when using the
webbrowser module to open a new blank browser tab in chrome it opens it
in a new browser window instead of using the current window. Providing
any complete url provides different behaviour, it opening a new tab in
the current browser window. Below is some code that produces the
different behaviours.
blank tab code:
import webbrowser
chrome = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s"
url = "chrome://newtab"
webbrowser.get(chrome).open_new_tab(url)
webbrowser.get(chrome).open_new_tab(url)
normal tab code:
import webbrowser
chrome = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s"
url = "http://google.com"
webbrowser.get(chrome).open_new_tab(url)
webbrowser.get(chrome).open_new_tab(url)
I would like to be able to open new blank tabs in the current browser
window if possible. If you know of a way to do this with the webbrowser
module I would appreciate your help. Also is there any chance that the
ability to close browser tabs will be added to the webbrowser module soon?
Kind Regards,
James Ansell
