How do I wait until a webpage is loaded before opening another tab

I've made this little python script to automate opening the websites I need in the morning, take a look `

Required Modules

import webbrowser

Open the websites

`webbrowser.get('firefox').open_new_tab('https://www.netflix.com')
webbrowser.get('firefox').open_new_tab('https://www.facebook.com')
webbrowser.get('firefox').open_new_tab('https://www.udemy.com') `

And I don't know how to wait until the webpage is loaded before opening the next one (in another tab), any help?

You could take the approach as mentioned at How to wait for the page to fully load using webbrowser method? and check for a certain element in the page manually.

Another options would be to import time and call it after opening each tab time.sleep(5) which waits for 5 seconds before running the next line of code. 

import webbrowser
from time import sleep

links = ['https://www.netflix.com', 'https://www.facebook.com', 'https://www.udemy.com']

for link in links:
    webbrowser.get('firefox').open_new_tab(link)
    sleep(5)

Selenium Implementation:

Note: This implemenetation opens your URL's in multiple windows rather than a single window and multiple tabs.

I will be using the chrome driver which you can install at https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

import os
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("detach", True) #this is just to keep the windows open even after the script is done running.

urls = ['https://www.netflix.com', 'https://www.facebook.com', 'https://www.udemy.com']

def open_url(url):
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=os.path.abspath('chromedriver'), chrome_options=chrome_options)
  # I've assumed the chromedriver is installed in the same directory as the script. If not, mention the path to the chromedriver executable here.
  driver.get(url) 

for url in urls:
  open_url(url)
