I try to access Zenmate extension webpage using Selenium and i succeeded opening it in regular mode but i cant access to webpage in incognito mode. I get the error "This page has been blocked by Chrome ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT". It works perfectly fine in regular window. How can i solve this issue? I need to use it in incognito because dealing with cache and saved data is not good for my Selenium code to run.This is my code to get the webpage.
driver.get('chrome-extension://fdcgdnkidjaadafnichfpabhfomcebme/index.html')

Trying to open a URL in an Edge Browser using SeleniumBasic (VBA). The problem is the secure website doesn't like two things. One SeleniumBasic-controlled website is in debug mode. Secondly, it requires the Edge Browser to be in IE mode.
I can open/work on other websites with no issues. Any help would be appreciated.
using this link solved the problem. I was able to load into an Edge browser and work with the Dom Document directly. Using IE Mode.

I am trying to scrape a website, but it is not loading in selenium. When I browse that website in my "real" chrome browser, everything works fine. Is there any way I can use my real browser with python to automate stuff, instead of using selenium??
Thanks
Using selenium we can automate real browsers.
If in case the website is not loading via selenium, you can check if adding desired capabilities helps.
Here we can set proxy, disable extensions etc. There are many options available.

Also if you can share what kind of error is displayed that would be helpful.
I have a tool which load a website, fill in the information, and save the result.
It was working fine until last week.
After debugging, I found out the reason is because the site URL "became" redirected.
The redirected sequence is like below. (for example, site url is google.com)
google.com` → google.com\somethingbetween → google.com (yes, the final redirected url is exactly the same as the original url)
If I open chrome and navigate to the url manually, the page is loaded fine. But if opened by selenium chromedriver, it will stop as google.com\somethingbetween. The strange thing is if I manually enter the url inside the address bar of the browser which was opened by ChromeDirver (will have a little popup saying that the browser is currently controlled by automation tool), the browser will also stop at the second page ( google.com\somethingbetween).
I tried to use the Chrome beta version 79 (with chrome driver v79) but the problem didn't go away.
Use Chrome driver of stable version which may help you to get rid of this problem.Because under this version there is an issue of "issue 3133: window.navigator.webdriver is undefined when "enable-automation" is excluded in non-headless mode (should be true) [Pri-2].So do try with the stable versions like v78,v77.
The redirection issue occurs when "driver.get()" method is used. Please try using "driver.navigate().to()" method to navigate to the url. This may solve the issue.

How do I switch to redirected url using selenium web driver
I wrote an application using the HTML5 Cache Manifest and I'm having a problem using it in IE 10.
I used Fiddler to witness the manifest file being downloaded and all resources fetched on the initial load of the application. If I disable my network adapter to force the machine offline, the application continues to work as expected as long as I don't close the browser window.
However, when I close the browser window, then attempt to re-open the page from a favorite, IE 10 tells me "You're not connected to a network". Obviously I know that, I'm trying to use the app offline. These exact steps work in Chrome.
Is this behavior by design? Is there a workaround? I can't test with IE 11 right now...is this different in IE 11?
Hearing of some issues of the appcache clearing if your company utilizes gpo settings and has "empty temporary internet files folder when browser is closed" enabled.
Did you find the answer to this? I have the same problem. I did get a bit further though. I found that if you go to the IE10 File menu option and tick Work Offline then try and access your cached app it loads the page but I still have an issue as it does not appear to be using the javascript file that should also be cached. All works ok on Google Chrome but our clients are restricted to IE so Chrome is not an option.
I need to build a Python scraper to scrape data from a website where content is only displayed after a user clicks a link bound with a Javascript onclick function, and the page is not reloaded. I've looked into Selenium in order to do this and played around with it a bit, and it seems Selenium opens a new Firefox web browser everytime I instantiate a driver:
>>> driver = webdriver.Firefox()
Is this open browser required, or is there a way to get rid of it? I'm asking because the scraper is potentially part of a web app, and I'm afraid if multiple users start using it, I will have a bunch of browser windows open on my server.
Yes, selenium automates web browsers.
You can add this at the bottom of your python code to make sure the browser is closed at the end:
driver.quit()
