Python Selenium, why does WebDriver freeze when switching to second tab?

Question

Python

Good morning, I create a driver:

class ChromeBrowser(BaseBrowser, IBrowser):
    def create_driver(self):
        options = ChromeOptions()
        options.add_argument('--headless')
        options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')

        self.driver = Chrome(chrome_options=options)

    def close_driver(self):
        self.driver.close()

Then on the first tab I normally look for page elements, for example:

login = self.browser.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[id='login']")
password = self.browser.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[id='passwd']")

But when a new tab opens and I switch to it:

self.browser.driver.switch_to.window(self.browser.driver.window_handles[1])

And after that I try to search for an element, after 5 minutes a timeout exception flies
How to fix this?

Have you tried adding multithreading?
