Not 100% sure if this is helpful, but here is what I'm importing and a snippet initiating webdriver. Sorry on mobile. The hardest part was getting the right chromium installed and getting the path right. I believe this is the one I used. sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC


driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver")```

You can do it with plain selenium all you need to set the proxy in the browser options.

from selenium import webdriver

PROXY_WITH_PORT= "111.222.333.443:8080" chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() chrome_options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server={PROXY_WITH_PORT}')

chrome = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options) chrome.get("http://google.com")

In general you can pass any command like argument to the browser using options. For chrome you can find all the proxy related options here: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/network-settings/

Also if you are using the latest selenium (4.10 I think) you don’t need to point to the chromedriver executable, selenium will automatically download it if it can’t find the driver

Edit: more information about chrome arguments Edit: info about driver download

have you considered using something else? like playwright/puppeteer?
