Here you need to download and install pywin32 and import these modules in your script like this -

import win32gui
import win32con

#to get currently active windows
window = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow

Or to get the Google Chrome window handle

win32gui.FindWindow

You can use selenium module and loop through all open tabs.

This code prints all open tabs of chrome and firefox:

from selenium import webdriver

chromeDriver = webdriver.Chrome()
firefoxDriver = webdriver.Firefox()


for handle in chromeDriver.window_handles[0]:
    chromeDriver.switch_to.window(handle)
    print(chromeDriver.current_url)

for handle in firefoxDriver.window_handles[0]:
    firefoxDriver.switch_to.window(handle)
    print(firefoxDriver.current_url)

Note:

This code is inefficient and should change to use only one loop.
