Checklist before requesting

  • I have searched for similar feature requests and didn't find a duplicate.
  • I have checked the documentation to confirm this feature doesn't already exist.

Problem Statement

Currently, if a user prefers to add a timeout to their Tab.find() or WebElement.find() calls, it must be provided for each call, as a keyword argument. This can create repetitive and unruly code for those who wish to have a timeout on all .find() calls, especially when accounting for page loads and procedurally-populated pages.

Proposed Solution

I would like to see a new argument added to Tab() or Chrome() instances which sets a global value for timeout that will be used if one is not explicitly provided to a .find() call.
