What are the capabilities of the browser opened by selenium-webdriver? - selenium

Question

I am curious to know the capabilities of the Chrome browser opened through the code:
driver=webdriver.chromedriver()
Is it same as that of incognito mode or is there a different kind?

Answer 1

To extract the capabilities of the ChromeDriver / Chrome Browser you can use the capabilities property which returns a dictionary and you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe")
my_dict = driver.capabilities
for key,val in my_dict.items():
print (key, "=>", val)
driver.quit()
Console Output:
acceptInsecureCerts => False
browserName => chrome
browserVersion => 76.0.3809.100
chrome => {'chromedriverVersion': '76.0.3809.68 (420c9498db8ce8fcd190a954d51297672c1515d5-refs/branch-heads/3809#{#864})', 'userDataDir': 'C:\\Users\\Debanjan.B\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\scoped_dir3888_683123771'}
