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");

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.open();");

This JavaScript code opens a new tab for the Chrome browser.

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()

Try this code:

    Actions newTab = new Actions(webDriver);
    newTab.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "t").perform();

Hope it will help.

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();
