Chrome WebDriver 直接启动到 URL 而不是新标签页 - Python、Selenium

Question

I am trying to launch Chrome WebDriver using Selenium directly to a URL instead of launching to my default homepage (Chrome's new tab page) first and then calling driver.get(url) . Is this possible?

I wasn't able to find a command-line argument to pass that would make the driver launch directly to a specified URL. Does this command line argument exist?

I then tried to alter my homepage in the initialization of the driver via few different methods found online of adding a dict containing key 'homepage' and value 'desired_url' to the driver's "prefs", but none of these methods worked for me.

If there is no way to do this from the driver itself, how can I change my Chrome homepage from a Python program prior to launching the driver?

Thank you!

Answer 1

--homepage= "url"

Command line argument

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('homepage=url')
options.add_argument('no-startup-window') 
webDriver.Chrome(options=options)
