3I would not recommend using tabs. They aren't supported in selenium. It will work, but trying to run commands on different tabs isn't a good way to have multiple processes.Nathan Merrill– Nathan Merrill2014-04-19 23:17:19 +00:00Commented Apr 19, 2014 at 23:17

The above code works only in FF not in Chrome. For Chrome you can use JSRipon Al Wasim– Ripon Al Wasim2017-07-19 07:04:54 +00:00Commented Jul 19, 2017 at 7:04

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.open();");
This JavaScript code opens a new tab for the Chrome browser.

Use Actions class in WebDriver to do this. Below is a sample code:
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.navigate().to("<URL>");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body"));
Actions actionOpenLinkInNewTab = new Actions(driver);
actionOpenLinkInNewTab.moveToElement(element).keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).click(element).keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).perform();

this following code works for me in selenium 3 and chrome 58.
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://yahoo.com");
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.open()");
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String>(driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
driver.get("http://google.com");

Yes, the above code is worked well both in Chrome and FF
Try this code:
Actions newTab = new Actions(webDriver);
newTab.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "t").perform();
Hope it will help.

Your code works in Firefoxdriver but not in Chromedriver.
One solution is that you can open any link on current page into new tab.
Following is the Python code for it.
actions = ActionChains(driver)
home_link = driver.find_element_by_class_name("logo")
actions.move_to_element(home_link)
actions.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL+ Keys.SHIFT)
actions.click(home_link)
actions.perform()
