python selenium add extension

Adding extensions (also known as add-ons or plugins) to a Selenium WebDriver session can be useful when you want to modify the behavior of the browser or add extra functionality. In this tutorial, we'll focus on how to add a Chrome extension to a Python Selenium script. Extensions in Selenium are typically in the form of CRX files.
First, you need to download the Chrome extension that you want to add. Extensions are usually available on the Chrome Web Store. For this tutorial, let's use an example extension called "uBlock Origin."
After installing the extension, you need to find the CRX file associated with it.
Copy the folder with the extension ID as its name to your project directory.
Now, let's create a Python script using Selenium to launch Chrome with the added extension.
This script will launch Chrome with the specified extension, and you can interact with the browser as needed for your automation tasks.
