Hello!
When I create an instance of Watir::Browser
br = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :profile => profile
and for instance do some web crawling with it I have the problem, that
the chrome window becomes the foreground window whenever a new url is
loaded.
This prevents me from working.
So: Is it possible to keep the window in background or make it
invisible?
Thanks!

Take a look at the headless gem. Runs the browser with no window under
Xvfb.

Sounds good.
Problem: I have to interact at a certain point.
So "no window at all" is no solution.
Thank you anyway
