We Keep Coding

im using the web browser import and i want to figure out if i can run a google link in incognito from webbrowser. is that possible?

I'm writing out a code that opens up all necessary tabs using the webbrowser module so that I don't have to open them all manually when I open my pc, but one of the links I want it to open in incognito mode (all the links are google links) is this possible? I don't want all the code to open on incognito mode I just want the Microsoft Teams URL to open in incognito. Thanks in advance.
my code:
import webbrowser
import time
webbrowser.open('https://www.youtube.com/')
time.sleep(0.3)
webbrowser.open('https://mail.google.com/')
time.sleep(0.3)
webbrowser.open('https://teams.microsoft.com')

The solution is to specify the browser executable with the appropriate command line arguments to start it in incognito mode. The exact flag may vary by browser. Firefox, for example, takes the -private-window flag to start in incognito mode.
import webbrowser
import time
firefox_path = 'C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe'
incognito_browser = webbrowser.get(firefox_path + ' -private-window %s')
webbrowser.open('https://www.youtube.com/')
time.sleep(0.3)
webbrowser.open('https://mail.google.com/')
time.sleep(0.3)
incognito_browser.open('https://teams.microsoft.com')
# ...could use now incognito_browser to open additional sites as desired.
The '%s' is substituted with the URL during the call to open and must be present for get to recognize that a command line invocation is being supplied rather than a named browser instance, e.g. 'opera'.

Web browser chrome, can't open URL in new window, keeps opening URL as a tab

I'm trying to open a URL in a new window. I can't use selenium because it wouldn't be signed into Google.
My default browser is Chrome using Windows 10 and I already have 3 Chrome windows open each with multiple tabs.
here is my code on Python 3.6:
import webbrowser
url = 'https://google.com'
open_google = webbrowser.open('https://google.com', new=1)
open_google = webbrowser.open_new('https://google.com')
Both of these give me a new tab in my current window instead of a new window. Why is this happening? is it a setting in Chrome?

How about opening a new window using os.system or subprocess and then using webbrowser to get the urls/apps to open there.
Something like:
import subprocess
command = "cmd /c start chrome http://www.google.com --new-window"
subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True)
and then doing:
open_google = webbrowser.open('https://google.com', new=1)

I want to be able to launch different browsers, because they have a different default theme and their displays look different on my computer.
Here is an approach that parameterizes the URL string to dynamically create the URL with the browser name "on the fly".
import subprocess
browser_type = "chrome" # Replace the value with "edge" or "firefox"
location_url = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7521729/how-to-open-a-new-default-browser-window-in-python-when-the-default-is-{browser_type}"
command_fstring = f"cmd /c start firefox {location_url} --new-window"
subprocess.Popen(command_string, shell=True)
To give credit where it is due, this is based on the answer by #Sharath on this page: Web browser chrome, can't open URL in new window, keeps opening URL as a tab

WebBrowser Library Python 2.7

Python Webbrowser library has the new varibale for its open where, by default, it will open up a file in the same browser window. Is there a way to open up the same file in the same TAB. Like whatever the current page that is open on the browser, redirect that page the specified url.
current code is:
import webbrowser
url = "http://www.google.com"
webbrowser.open(url)
but this opens in a new tab but I want it to open in my current tab. Thanks in advance.

It should be as easy as adding new=0 like this:
webbrowser.open(url, new=0)
Display url using the default browser. If new is 0, the url is opened in the same browser window if possible.
according to:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/webbrowser.html

It is not possible with the Webbrowser module.
It is possible with Selenium module though
http://selenium-python.readthedocs.org/
download the module: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sst/0.2.4
In the code:
from sst.actions import *
go_to('url')

Open url in existing browser not in default browser

I used below code to open new url
webbrowser.open(url)
This opened the url in the default browser, but I need to open it in a browser session that is already open.
Also, is there a way to open a URL in a specific tab of a browser?

You should use webbroser.get([name]): Return a controller object for the browser type name. If name is empty, return a controller for a default browser appropriate to the caller’s environment.
Demo:
import webbrowser
url = 'http://www.google.com'
browser = webbrowser.get('firefox') # or lynx, opera
browser.open(url)

webbrowser modules only opens url in mozilla?

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open(url)
I am using this to open url in browser. But it opens only in 'Mozilla' why?

Just look at the docs. It uses the default browser. Look at webbrowser.get() for instructions on using a different browser.
