Use Selenium with Brave Browser pass service object written in python

by

To initiate a brave browsing context you need to:

  • Use the binary_location attribute to point to the brave binary location.
  • Use the chromedriver executable to initiate the brave browser.

Code block:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.binary_location = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe'
driverService = Service('C:/Users/.../chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=driverService, options=option)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")

Note: The DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated is a harmless warning message which doesn’t affects your test execution and you can still ignore it.
