How do I pass options to the Selenium Chrome driver using Python?

Question

The Selenium documentation mentions that the Chrome webdriver can take an instance of ChromeOptions, but I can't figure out how to create ChromeOptions.

I'm hoping to pass the --disable-extensions flag to Chrome.

Answer 1

Found the chrome Options class in the Selenium source code.

Usage to create a Chrome driver instance:

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options chrome_options = Options() chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-extensions") driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options) 

Answer 2

This is how I did it.

from selenium import webdriver  chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')  chrome = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
