[FIXED] Selenium Python minimize browser window

Issue

I know how to call a method to maximize window from driver object.

driver.maximize_window()

But what method should I use when I need to minimize browser window (hide it)? Actually, driver object hasn't maximize_window attribute. My goal to work silently with the browser window. I don't want to see it on my PC.

Solution

Maybe try a headless browser? Chrome headless or PhantomJS.

http://phantomjs.org/

Keep in mind that development is suspended for Phantom js. You may want to use other alternatives if it doesn't work or gives errors -

A headless browser is a web browser without a GUI.
