I am trying to test Selenium in incognito mode. I've looked up online about how to make it in Python but couldn't really find a new version of the procedure. From what I could find, I made following script:

from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
  
options = Options()
options.add_argument("−−incognito")
c = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME.copy()

s = Service('C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe')
driver = Chrome(service=s, options=options, desired_capabilities=c)

But this doesn't make the browser to launch in incognito mode. What is wrong here? What could I add to make it work?

You don't need to pass the DesiredCapabilities object unless you are using the Remote WebDriver.

Solution

As you are using Chrome() effectively your code block will be:

from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = Options()
options.add_argument("−−incognito")
s = Service('C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe')
driver = Chrome(service=s, options=options)

  • I tried this one, and had it close to similar before as well. Sadly it doesn't make the driver start in incognito mode for me. – Donnerhorn Mar 25 '22 at 14:00
  • Just a question. Why incognito? As much as I used selenium(though I didn't use much) it opens a complete different window which has no history/cookies/accounts and neither it does save them anywhere. It's kinda like incognito itself so why to open it in incognito window? – I-am-developer-9 Mar 25 '22 at 15:54
