How to initiate Brave browser using Selenium and Python on Windows

问题

Using:

• ChromeDriver 83.0.4103.39
• Brave Version 1.10.97 Chromium: 83.0.4103.116 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Python 3.7
• Windows 10

Code trials:

from selenium import webdriver

driver_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 Chrome
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, chrome_options=option)

browser.get("https://www.google.com")

I'm getting this error

To open a brave Browsing Context using Selenium driven WebDriver you can use the following solution:

• Code Block:

  from selenium import webdriver
  
  option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
  option.binary_location = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe'
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe', options=option)
  driver.get("https://www.google.com")
