Python code stucked on `driver = webdriver.Chrome()`

If your python code stucked on driver = webdriver.Chrome() and you are using linux then run below commands (for windows I haven't tried but you need to download chrome/chormimum browser/driver then it should work)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y chromium-chromedriver
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/chromium-browser/

Run above commands step by step then it should work

Find Browser Executable Path of existing browser (below is not working for me)

Note: Just install chromium and follow above steps

I am using Linux for Brave, but you can do this for any Chromium-based browser.

# Linux
which brave-browser

# Arch-based Linux
which brave

You will get an output. For me, it's /usr/bin/brave. Then, export this path as shown below:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/brave

Now you need to also change driver initialization code

## Before
# Initialize browser
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = Options()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

## Now
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

brave_path = "/usr/bin/brave"  # Update if needed for your system

# Set binary location for Brave
options.binary_location = brave_path

# Path to chromedriver
chromedriver_path = "/usr/bin/brave"  # Update if needed

# Initialize WebDriver with Brave
driver_service = Service(chromedriver_path)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=driver_service, options=options)
