# browsingContexts

Get every open tab and window of the session as a [browsing context](/docs/api/browsingContext.md), in the order the browser reports them. This includes tabs the page opened itself, e.g. through `target="_blank"` or `window.open()`. Frames are not in this list, get them with [`frame()`](/docs/api/browsingContext/frame.md) on their tab.

Only available in a WebDriver BiDi session.
