title: I need Selenium to open it's web browser in a larger resolution ( preferably maximized)
body: <p>I am using Selenium WebDriver and coding in Python</p>
  
  <p>I have looked all over the place and the best I could find were things written in different languages. I also tried to use the export tool on Selenium IDE but when I look at the data says that the function is not supported for export.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:  The reason I need the browser to open up with a larger resolution is because the web application that I am testing is supporting tablet resolution as so elements are different depending on the resolution of the browser window. </p>
  
  <p>This is the script I exported from the IDE with a couple of modifications.</p>
