%pip install google-colab-selenium

Use undetected-chromedriver version:

%pip install google-colab-selenium[undetected]

Basic Usage

from google_colab_selenium import ChromeDriver

driver = ChromeDriver()
# Your code to interact with the driver here
# ...
driver.quit()

Default Options

The google-colab-selenium package is preconfigured with a set of default options optimized for Google Colab environments. These defaults include:

• --headless: Runs Chrome in headless mode (without a GUI).
• --no-sandbox: Disables the Chrome sandboxing feature, necessary in the Colab environment.
• --disable-dev-shm-usage: Prevents issues with limited shared memory in Docker containers.
• --lang=en: Sets the language to English.

You are welcome to extend or override these options based on your needs:

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from google_colab_selenium import ChromeDriver

custom_options = Options()
# Add your custom options here
# custom_options.add_argument("--your-option")

driver = ChromeDriver(options=custom_options)
