# provide location where Chrome stores profiles
profiles_path = r'C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data' # make sure to prefix the path with r'' to create a raw string

# provide the profile name with which we want to open browser
profile = r'Profile 1' # make sure to prefix it with r'' to create a raw string
