How to close browser(ChromeDriver) on time using Python

I made a Python program that opens my Youtube playlist using Selenium and I want to close that browser when all video is watched. (I tried using time.sleep() but the problem is Youtube ads). So, is there any way I can close my browser automatically when all video is watched?

When the video is finished //div[@class='ytp-autonav-endscreen-button-container'] element appears so you can wait until this element appearing and then close the driver.
You can also simply locate it by the class name 'ytp-autonav-endscreen-button-container' or other buttons / elements inside it.
So after staring the video use

WebDriverWait(driver, delay).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'ytp-autonav-endscreen-button-container')))

where delay is time that will be enough to the video to finish.

Don't forget to add the essential imports

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

I suggest to make in in steps.

First step:

Wait for the last video in playlist:

By text:

last_video = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#secondary .index-message.style-scope.ytd-playlist-panel-renderer:nth-child(1)").text == "10 /10"

Or by waiting for the last element in the playlist directly:

last_video = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#secondary #items>.style-scope.ytd-playlist-panel-renderer:last-of-type").get_attribute("selected")

Second step:

After the first condition is true, wait for this video to finish, with this locator (Replay button)

video_ends = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".ytp-chrome-controls button[title=Replay]")

For this you'll need to import:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

And use it like this:

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, timeout_in_seconds)
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#secondary .index-message.style-scope.ytd-playlist-panel-renderer:nth-child(1)").text == "10 /10")))

Timeout will depend of the length of playlist.

It is not a quick task, nobody will agree to finish it for you here.
