How to load extension within chrome driver in selenium with python

To open chrome browser with any extension you need to use the add_extension() method through an instance of chrome.options class and you can use the following solution :

from selenium import webdriverfrom selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Optionschrome_options = Options()chrome_options.add_extension(r'C:\path\to\extension.crx')driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')driver.get('https://www.google.co.in')print("Page Title is : %s" %driver.title)driver.quit()

Simplest answer as far as I'm aware - manifest in subfolder of location you've referenced (e.g. 3.28.2_0' or whatever the latest version of extension is...)

This assumes you're using 'options.add_argument('--load-extension=')...

For options.add_extension('reference crx file .crx')
