How to use Brave web browser with python, selenium and chromedriver?

I finally managed to make it work:

Try this python script (python3.7)

from selenium import webdriverdriver_path = "C:/Users/username/PycharmProjects/chromedriver.exe"brave_path = "C:/Program Files (x86)/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Application/brave.exe"option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()option.binary_location = brave_path# option.add_argument("--incognito") OPTIONAL# option.add_argument("--headless") OPTIONAL# Create new Instance of Chromebrowser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, chrome_options=option)browser.get("https://www.google.es")

cheers.

The executable_path key is used to pass the absolute path of the WebDriver binary i.e. the chromedriver executable.

To initiate a Brave browser session additionally you have to pass the absolute location of the brave-browser binary through the binary_location argument of an instance of ChromeOptions.

So the effective code block will be:

from selenium import webdriverchromedriver_path = '/usr/bin/chromedriver'brave_path = '/usr/bin/brave-browser'option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()option.binary_location = brave_pathbrowser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, options=option)browser.get("https://www.google.es")

You can find a couple of relevant detailed discussions in:

• DeprecationWarning: use options instead of chrome_options error using Brave Browser With Python Selenium and Chromedriver on Windows

This also works in windows 10 with Brave browser. I downloaded Chromedriver and put it in the folder with Brave.exe.

from selenium import webdriverdriver_path = "C:\\Users\\5150s\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\chromedriver.exe"brave_path = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\BraveSoftware\\Brave-Browser\\Application\\brave.exe"option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()option.binary_location = brave_pathbrowser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, options=option)browser.get("https://www.google.es")
