Keep the broweser open, after terminating the python program

I want to open google chrome browser and go to facebook and terminate the python program but keep the google chrome window open until I manually close it. Please give me your own idea/Program with the above said as the aim.

I expect the chrome window to remain open after the program terminates, but it closes automatically after the program terminates.

Using os.system() should be avoided because it is platform dependent and because it isn't secure: if you use os.system('start chrome "%s"') % url where url is a string submitted by the user, someone can enter www.facebook.com" && shutdown /s /t "0 Facebook will open in a new Chrome window but then the computer will shut down.

The easiest way to open a new page in the browser is:

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open_new("www.facebook.com")

It remains open when the Python script terminates.

Try this, works on windows!

import os
os.system("start chrome \"www.facebook.com\"")

This shall open a chrome browser with the Facebook URL using cmd and it remains open even after the termination of the program.
