title: Sending selenium chrome instance to the background using Python
body: <p>I am trying to open a simple chrome instance using Python and selenium.
  Please find my code below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import time, datetime, sys, os
  start_time = time.time()
  from datetime import datetime
  os.system("cls")
  from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
  from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
  
  CHROME_PATH = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe'
  CHROMEDRIVER_PATH = 'C:\\Users\\'+userID+'\\'+filename+'\\chromedriver.exe'
  WINDOW_SIZE = "1920,1080"
  
  chrome_options = Options()  
  chrome_options.add_argument("--window-size=%s" % WINDOW_SIZE)
  chrome_options.add_argument("disable-gpu")
  chrome_options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
  chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-notifications")
  chrome_options.binary_location = CHROME_PATH
  
  browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=CHROMEDRIVER_PATH,chrome_options=chrome_options)
  time.sleep(1)
  browser.get("https://www.google.com")
  os.system("cls")
  time.sleep(2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like this to open in the background ie when I am typing something else the mouse/cursor focus should not randomly go to this automated chrome instance once it opens.</p>
  
  <p>Limitations: Please note the below limitations:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I can not use "--headless"</li>
  <li>I can not use phantomJS </li>
  <li>I can not use PyVirtualDisplay as the code(exe file) will eventually be deployed on windows machines for the end-users.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Would there be any other way to push this chrome instance to the background?
  Thanks</p>
