How to open a link in new tab (chrome) using Selenium WebDriver?

I have tried other techniques, but none of them worked, also no error produced, but when I have used the code below, it worked for me.

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.open()");
ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String>(driver.getWindowHandles());
driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
driver.get("http://google.com");

I checked with below code and it works fine for me. I found answer from here.

    driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
            
    String baseUrl = "http://www.google.co.uk/";
    driver.get(baseUrl);
    driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL +"t");

    ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String> (driver.getWindowHandles());
    driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1)); //switches to new tab
    driver.get("https://www.facebook.com");
    
    driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(0)); // switch back to main screen        
    driver.get("https://www.news.google.com");

Selenium 4 is already included this feature now, you can directly open new Tab or new Window with any URL.

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

driver.get("www.Url1.com");     
//  below code will open Tab for you as well as switch the control to new Tab
driver.switchTo().newWindow(WindowType.TAB);

// below code will navigate you to your desirable Url 
driver.get("www.Url2.com");

download Maven dependencies, this is what I downloaded -

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
            <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
            <version>3.7.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>commons-io</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
            <version>2.6</version>
        </dependency>

google out for - WebDriverManager selenium 4

this below code works for me in Selenium 3 and chrome version 58.

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("http://yahoo.com");  
    ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.open()");
    ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<String>(driver.getWindowHandles());
    driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(1));
    driver.get("http://google.com");
