[New-bugs-announce] [issue34019] webbrowser: wrong arguments for Opera browser.

[Bumsik Kim]

New submission from Bumsik Kim <kbumsik at gmail.com>:

webbrowser module currently opens Opera Browser using the following command:

opera -remote "openURL(https://google.com,new-window)"

While this follows Opera's documentation (https://www.opera.com/docs/switches/#remote), this is broken since Opera switched from its own engine to Chromium. The working command is exactly the same as Chrome:

opera --new-window https://google.com
