Hello i have question for chromedriver. I want my own histories, cookies and all other things from my original chrome browser. if this is not possible how to use original chrome browser instead of driver?
2 Answers
you can use chrome profile (see below image to figure out which profile you want to launch)
- Default Profile :
Code :
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\***\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in")
- for customized profiles :
Code :
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\***\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in")
You can get profile while running chrome://version/ in Google chrome.
You can import your default Chrome browser profile to be used by Selenium ChromeDriver as following:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\yourUserFolderName\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
