Python: Selenium browser doesn't fully load while background

I have an uncommon problem with my selenium chrome driver that never happened to me before.

Here the basic code I'm running:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.fr/")

A Chrome browser opens and loads for the asked URL. When I have the browser open at my front application, everything is working fine and the code runs (not showed here)

However, when I put the browser in the background the loading never gets fully done, the page staying white until I put the browser up front.

And this problem is the same whatever URL I am using.

I assume this change came from an update in the chromedriver since it worked before.

Any solution (besides using headless or firefox)?

what is the error you get if you leave it in the background? – DMart Nov 23 '20 at 18:41
I get a NoSuchElementException which is logical since I get a blank page as a response. – Jsiat Nov 24 '20 at 09:42
