chrome options selenium python code example

Example 1: how to set chrome options python selenium for a folder

chromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"download.default_directory" : "/some/path"}
chromeOptions.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs)
chromedriver = "path/to/chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver, chrome_options=chromeOptions)

Example 2: chromedriver selenium python

# For Linux, but it is similar for Windows
# First make sure first that you have chrome browser installed on your system.

# a simple way to get the driver is: 
sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver
# this will download 75MB of files.

# another way is:
1. Download the lastest version of driver from:
  https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/ # only 5-7MB
2. Unzip the file.
3. Paste the file in /usr/local/bin using this command:
  sudo mv chromedriver /usr/local/bin # this makes sure that the directory is in your PATH variable.
4. Make your file executable:
  sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

Now you can use this in python:
  >>from selenium import webdriver
  >>browser = webdriver.Chrome()
  # it will work fine

Example 3: webdriver.ChromeOptions()

from selenium import webdriver

opt = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
opt.add_argument("--disable-infobars")
opt.add_argument("start-maximized")
opt.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
opt.add_argument("--start-maximized")
opt.add_argument("no-sandbox")
opt.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
opt.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
opt.add_argument("--incognito")
opt.add_argument("--headless")
opt.add_argument("--disable-xss-auditor")
opt.add_argument("--disable-web-security")
opt.add_argument("--allow-running-insecure-content")
opt.add_argument("--disable-setuid-sandbox")
opt.add_argument("--disable-webgl")
opt.add_argument("--disable-popup-blocking")
# Pass the argument 1 to allow and 2 to block
opt.add_experimental_option("prefs", {
    "profile.default_content_setting_values.media_stream_mic": 2,
    "profile.default_content_setting_values.media_stream_camera": 2,
    "profile.default_content_setting_values.geolocation": 2,
    "profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications": 2
})
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromepath, chrome_options=opt)
driver.get(url)
