Python/Selenium incognito/private mode

问题:

I can not seem to find any documentation on how to make Selenium open the browser in incognito mode.

Do I have to setup a custom profile in the browser or?

回答1:

First of all, since selenium by default starts up a browser with a clean, brand-new profile, you are actually already browsing privately. Referring to:

• Python - Start firefox with Selenium in private mode
• How might I simulate a private browsing experience in Watir? (Selenium)

---

But you can strictly enforce/turn on incognito/private mode anyway.

For chrome pass --incognito command-line argument:

--incognito Causes the browser to launch directly in incognito mode.

from selenium import webdriver

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--incognito")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get('https://google.com')

FYI, here is what it would open up:

For firefox, set browser.privatebrowsing.autostart to True:

from selenium import webdriver

firefox_profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
firefox_profile.set_preference("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", True)

driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=firefox_profile)

FYI, this corresponds to the following checkbox in settings:

There is a really simple way to make a window open in incognito mode:

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()
# incognito window
chrome_options.add_argument("--incognito")

You can also use this library for maximizing the window and more, see the documentation: https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/rb/Selenium/WebDriver/Chrome/Options.html

PowerShell

try{
    # Import the Selenium DLLs
    Add-Type -Path "$Seleniumlib\Selenium.WebDriverBackedSelenium.dll"
    Add-Type -Path "$Seleniumlib\WebDriver.dll"
    Add-Type -Path "$Seleniumlib\WebDriver.Support.dll"
}
catch [Exception]{
    Write-Host ("Error: {0}" -f $_.Exception.Message)
    exit 1
}

$options = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeOptions
$options.AddArgument("--incognito")
$driver = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver($options)

I have initiated both Chrome and Firefox in incognito/Private mode using ChromeOptions and FirefoxOptions successfully using the code snippets in Java as below:

    //For Firefox
    FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
    options.addArguments("-private");
    DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
    caps.setCapability("moz:firefoxOptions",options);

    //For Chrome
    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.addArguments("-incognito");
    caps.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);

    WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(URL), caps);

For firefox : (Python) ==>

from selenium import webdriver    
firefox_options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
firefox_options.add_argument("--private")
browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=firefox_options)
