[FIXED] How to initiate a Chromium based Vivaldi browser session using Selenium and Python

Issue

I am trying to use the vivaldi browser with Selenium. It is a chromium browser that runs very similar to chrome. I have Selenium working with Firefox (geckodriver), and Google Chrome(chromedriver), but I can't seem to find a way with Vivaldi. Any help would be appreciated.

Solution

If the vivaldi binary by default is located at C:\Users\levir\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe you can use the following solution:

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

options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.binary_location=r'C:\Users\levir\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', options=options)
driver.get('http://google.com/')
