How to install Chrome Extension using Selenium & Python

Hello I'm trying to install a Chrome extension with Selenium using python, I tried using ChromeDriver - WebDriver for Chrome

But it is not working, this is my code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import ChromeOptions
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions import presence_of_element_located

import re  # regular expressions, are imported from python directly
import time
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import functions_database

# Pandas read CSV
df_read = pd.read_csv(
    '/home/daniel/amazon-project-scrapers/ss_scraper.edited2.csv')

amazon_data = list(df_read.amz_search)

# Chrome Driver + install plugin
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(new File("/home/daniel/amazon-project-scrapers/chromedriver_linux64/DS-Amazon-Quick-View_v2.8.9.crx"));
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/home/daniel/amazon-project-scrapers/chromedriver_linux64/chromedriver')
driver.get('https://www.amazon.com/')

And this is the error i'm getting:

File "camel_scraper.py", line 23
    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
                        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I tried to do this in other 3 different ways, actually there is a similar question in Stack overflow whose answer is deprecated, if I find it again I'll write the link in here.

To add/install the DS-Amazon-Quick-View Chrome extension using Selenium's client you can use the following solution:

  • Code Block:

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

  chrome_options = Options()
  chrome_options.add_extension('/home/daniel/amazon-project-scrapers/chromedriver_linux64/DS-Amazon-Quick-View_v2.8.9.crx')
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options, executable_path='/path/to/chromedriver')
  driver.get('https://www.google.co.in')
