How to change Google Chrome user agent in Selenium in Python?
To change Google Chrome user agent in Selenium in Python, we can use the fake_useragent library.
To install it, we run
pip install fake-useragent
Then we write
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from fake_useragent import UserAgent
options = Options()
ua = UserAgent()
userAgent = ua.random
options.add_argument(f'user-agent={userAgent}')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\ChromeDriver\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.example.com")
driver.quit()
to create a UserAgent object.
We get a random user agent with ua.random.
And then we call add_argument to add the userAgent into the options object.
Then we create the Chrome webdriver withj the chrome_options set to options to open Chrome with the user agent we set.
