| // JavaScript for Automation (JXA) for opening a new tab in different browsers. | |
| // Doing an "open 'https://example.com/'" and letting macOS handle it is usually preferable, | |
| // but sometimes you want to specifically open a tab in a browser which is not the default. | |
| // Chromium-based browsers | |
| // Other examples include "Brave Browser", "Vivaldi" | |
| const browser = Application("Google Chrome") | |
| const newTab = browser.Tab({ url: "https://example.com/" }) | |
| browser.windows[0].tabs.push(newTab) | |
| // Webkit-based browsers | |
| // Other examples include "Safari Technology Preview" | |
| const browser = Application("Safari") | |
| const newTab = browser.Tab({ url: "https://example.com/" }) | |
| const frontWindow = browser.windows[0] | |
| frontWindow.tabs.push(newTab) // Open in background | |
| frontWindow.currentTab = newTab // Switch to tab |
