Switching and focusing a newly opened tab in selenium

Hello, I use selenium to click links and usually use an online application.

I'm having trouble clicking on a specific link that opens a new tab and performs an action on this newly opened tab. I have this code:

friend_link = browser.find_element_by_tag_name('a')
friend_link.click() # this is where new tab is opened

After which the webdriver (from my eyes) will open on a new tab without the need to call

browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body').send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + Keys.TAB)

So, all is well. On the webdriver tab, a new tab opens. When I try to click a link on this recently opened tab, I get a “No item” exception, that is, it cannot find the item I was looking for.

Two questions:

1) Does webdriver know that an open open tab has been opened and to perform actions on this tab? Maybe I should say that. I tried

main_window = browser.current_window_handle
browser.switch_to_window(main_window)

, .

2) , ?
