main

main()

open

open(url, new=0, autoraise=True)

  Display url using the default browser.

      If possible, open url in a location determined by new.
      - 0: the same browser window (the default).
      - 1: a new browser window.
      - 2: a new browser page ("tab").
      If possible, autoraise raises the window (the default) or not.

open_new

open_new(url)

  Open url in a new window of the default browser.

      If not possible, then open url in the only browser window.

open_new_tab

open_new_tab(url)

  Open url in a new page ("tab") of the default browser.

      If not possible, then the behavior becomes equivalent to open_new().

register_X_browsers

register_X_browsers()
