from browserist import Browser

with Browser() as browser:
    browser.open.url("https://example.com")
    browser.window.open.new_tab("https://google.com")
    browser.window.close()

fullscreen() #

Fills the entire screen. Similar to pressing F11 in most browsers.

Example 
browser.window.fullscreen()

maximize() #

Enlarge the browser window to the maximum allowed size.

Note

For most operating systems, the window will fill the screen, without blocking the operating system's own menus and toolbars. Obviously, the size of the browser window also depends on the device and its screen resolution.

Example 
browser.window.maximize()

minimize() #

Minimizes the window of the current browsing context.

Note

The exact behavior of this command is specific to operating systems. Minimizing the window typically hides the window in the system tray.

Example 
browser.window.minimize()

switch_to(window_handle) #

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
window_handle str

Handle ID or name of window/tab to switch to.
