What is the difference between driver close and driver quit

Question

I am learning python selenium and when I refer to codes, some codes use driver.quit() and some code use driver.close(). What is the difference between the both these? When I run them, both closes the browser.

Answer 1

They do a similar thing but not exactly the same. driver.quit() is used to exit the browser, end the session, tabs, pop-ups etc.

But the when you driver.close(), only the window that has focus is closed. It is better to use driver.close() when you are dealing with multiple tabs or windows.
