Requests for webbrowser module

[Jamie]

Hi,

I am not sure if this is an intended consequence but when using the 
webbrowser module to open a new blank browser tab in chrome it opens it 
in a new browser window instead of using the current window. Providing 
any complete url provides different behaviour, it opening a new tab in 
the current browser window. Below is some code that produces the 
different behaviours.

blank tab code:
import webbrowser

chrome = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s"
url = "chrome://newtab"
webbrowser.get(chrome).open_new_tab(url)
webbrowser.get(chrome).open_new_tab(url)

normal tab code:
import webbrowser

chrome = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s"
url = "http://google.com"
webbrowser.get(chrome).open_new_tab(url)
webbrowser.get(chrome).open_new_tab(url)

I would like to be able to open new blank tabs in the current browser 
window if possible. If you know of a way to do this with the webbrowser 
module I would appreciate your help. Also is there any chance that the 
ability to close browser tabs will be added to the webbrowser module soon?

Kind Regards,
