Python Open Web Browser: How to Use Different Web Browsers to Open URLs

In Python, you can use the webbrowser module to open URLs in different web browsers. Here’s how you can do it:

Using the webbrowser Module

First, you need to import the webbrowser module:

    import webbrowser
  

Next, you can use the open() function to open a URL in the default web browser:

    webbrowser.open('http://www.example.com')
  

If you want to specify a particular web browser, you can use the get() function to get an instance of the browser, and then use the open_new() function to open the URL:

    chrome = webbrowser.get('chrome')
    chrome.open_new('http://www.example.com')
  

You can also use the open_new_tab() function to open the URL in a new tab:

    firefox = webbrowser.get('firefox')
    firefox.open_new_tab('http://www.example.com')
  

Supported Web Browsers

The webbrowser module supports various web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. To see a list of supported web browsers, you can use the get()' function:

    browsers = webbrowser.get()
    print(browsers)
