I suggest to try webdriver_manager

https://github.com/SergeyPirogov/webdriver_manager.

It helps to setup path to chromedriver.

For Chrome:

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())

For Chromium:

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager.utils import ChromeType

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager(chrome_type=ChromeType.CHROMIUM).install())

I suppose some of this will work for Brave.

Also, take a look at this example:

CodePudding user response：

To initiate a brave browsing context you need to:

• Use the binary_location attribute to point to the brave binary location.
• Use the chromedriver executable to initiate the brave browser.

Code block:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.binary_location = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe'
driverService = Service('C:/Users/.../chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=driverService, options=option)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
