FeaImg Webbrowser Library

Hello there, programmers. In this lesson, we will look at the web browser module or library in Python and look at several code examples.

Before we continue, we’ll go over the web browser library and some of its features.

Introduction to webbrowser library

The webbrowser module in Python is a useful web browser controller. It provides a high-level interface for users to view Web-based content.

It is a Python module that displays web-based documents or web pages for the URL entered in the browser.

Code Implementation

Now we’ll look at several sorts of webbrowser functions and some examples based on them.

Open in a Browser

import webbrowser 
webbrowser.open('https://www.askpython.com')

The URL will be opened in the default browser.

Open in a new window

webbrowser.open_new('https://www.askpython.com')

Open in a new browser tab

webbrowser.open_new_tab('https://www.askpython.com')

Open in a specific browser

c = webbrowser.get('firefox') 
c.open('https://www.askpython.com')
c.open_new_tab('https://www.askpython.com')

Line 2:- This will open the URL in the appropriate browser.
Line 3:- This will open the URL in a new browser window.
