I will reply to this, hope it helps you.
While using "google collaborate" you must run selenium in headless mode because it can't display new browsers. Therefore, the only way to run it without headless mode would be through your own device, declaring your webdriver not specifying the headless option.
If you still want to run it in headless mode either because you are using collab or because you plan to use it in a server-side environment, there's still a way to print the page's url:
# Consider wb as your webdriver
wb = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = driverPath , options=chrome_options)
# Display webdriver's current url
print(wb.current_url)
# If you want to display the title of the page your webdriver is visting
print(wb.title)
# If you want to display the html of the page your webdriver is visting
print(wb.page_source)
Useful. That really worked for me.

How to add others web driver options using kora?
You can create your own wd
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
# create a webdriver instance, ready to use
wd = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver',options=options)
Kora just help with installation and create a default wd for you.
Nice job, btw, for those who cannot use the code provided by korakot, use:
from IPython.display import Javascript
def open_web():
url = 'https://github.com/jiahaoli57'
display(Javascript('window.open("{url}");'.format(url=url)))
Hi Korakot!
I'm trying tu use selenium in Google Colab, but I'm having trouble to refert to de chromedriver.exe file.
If I put it in the Colaboratory space, I get the message "'chromedriver.exe' executable may have wrong permissions."
And if I refer to the file in my computer, the error is: Message: "'C:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH."
I also failed to use webdriver-manager in the Colab environment.
Can you help me on this?
I just want to say thank you, I was trying everything I could for a project I was working on, nothing worked until I came across this, you are genuinely amazing for making this
For reference, this method is first discovered here in Dec 2018.
