Python Selenium: Hide Browser - Examples

Example 1: Use Headless Mode with Chrome

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

# Create Chrome options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')

# Create a Chrome driver with headless mode
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

# Your automation code here

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

Example 2: Use Headless Mode with Firefox

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options

# Create Firefox options
firefox_options = Options()
firefox_options.add_argument('--headless')

# Create a Firefox driver with headless mode
driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=firefox_options)

# Your automation code here

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

Example 3: Use PhantomJS (Deprecated)

Note: PhantomJS is deprecated, and its usage is discouraged. Consider using headless Chrome or Firefox instead.

from selenium import webdriver

# Create a PhantomJS driver
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()

# Your automation code here

# Close the browser
driver.quit()
