I want to Start browsec VPN extension with selenium but I don't know how to access it

this is my code to add the extension:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_extension('C:/Users/DELL-PC/Downloads/Browsec.crx')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='C:/Users/DELL-PC/Downloads/chromedriver.exe', options=chrome_options)
browser.get('https://www.google.co.in')

This code is just for adding the extension in the browser, for me i want also start the vpn extension.

I might be wrong but we can't click chrome extension icon with WebDriver, as icon is out of the Webpage.

Work around

But a worked around it by using the link: chrome-extension://<the extension identity>/html/login.html - instead of the icon. This way, I can test all the functions of the extension.

OR

for open the added Extension: I think we can set shortkey in chrome://extensions/ -> Keyboard shortcuts , add the Keyboard shortcuts to your added extension, then send Keyboard to launch the extension, see here

OR

You can sikuli to click on the extension for more detail here
