Run selenium on an already existing chrome browser?

Question

Is it possible to open my own (normal) chrome browser and have selenium run on this browser?

I saw some existing topics about this wrt. Python: Running Selenium on an existing Chrome Browser Window, how is someone doing this through C# and Selenium?

Answer 1

Type : chrome://version/ in browser you will get executable path of chrome.exe

copy this and close all chrome instance.

**close all chrome instance and **

start chrome as:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --remote-debugging-port=5555

verify chrome is started with port open by going to localhost:5555

Now add remote debugging port as:

var options = new ChromeOptions();
options.debuggerAddress= "127.0.0.1:5555";

var driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
