from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from datetime import datetime
import os

Start timer

start = datetime.now()

=== Configurations ===

EXTENSION_DIR = r"C:\Users\Infox\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 3\Extensions\majdfhpaihoncoakbjgbdhglocklcgno\3.6.3_0"
WEB_URL = "https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/free-vpn-for-chrome-vpn-p/majdfhpaihoncoakbjgbdhglocklcgno"

=== Chrome Options Setup ===

chrome_options = Options()

Extension

extension_path = os.path.abspath(EXTENSION_DIR)

chrome_options.add_argument(f"--load-extension={extension_path}")

extension_file_path = os.path.abspath("C:/Users/Infox/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Profile 3/Extensions/majdfhpaihoncoakbjgbdhglocklcgno/3.6.3_0.crx")

chrome_options.add_extension(extension_file_path)

General browser configurations

chrome_options.enable_bidi = True
chrome_options.enable_webextensions = True
chrome_options.add_argument("--developer-mode")
chrome_options.add_argument("--enable-extensions")
chrome_options.add_argument("--extensions-on-chrome-urls")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-web-security")
chrome_options.add_argument("--allow-running-insecure-content")

Mimic human behavior

chrome_options.add_experimental_option("useAutomationExtension", False)
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])

=== WebDriver Initialization ===

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

Hide webdriver flag

driver.execute_script("Object.defineProperty(navigator, 'webdriver', {get: () => undefined})")
driver.execute_script("""
Object.defineProperty(navigator, 'languages', {get: () => ['en-US', 'en']});
Object.defineProperty(navigator, 'platform', {get: () => 'Win32'});
Object.defineProperty(navigator, 'vendor', {get: () => 'Google Inc.'});
""")

extension_result = driver.webextension.install(path=extension_path)
print(extension_result)

=== Actions ===

driver.maximize_window()
driver.get(WEB_URL)
