How can I open a URL with my default webbrowser in the background without changing window focus?
In other words I want to stay in the terminal while opening the webbrowser.
I have tried the webbrowser module without success.
Python 3.8.1 (default, Jan 17 2020, 10:45:46)
>>> import webbrowser
>>> webbrowser.open("https://stackoverflow.com", autoraise=False)
Is there an easy way to solve this or is it a Mac OS problem?
You should use selenium and download chrome driver instead and add headless option for your chrome browser.
from selenium import webdriver
import time
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-notifications')
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="/Users/mypc/Downloads/chromedriver-2",options=chrome_options)
# or you can use Chrome(executable_path="/usr/bin/chromedriver")
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/")
time.sleep(2)
