Answer 1

I tried following Nakilions answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/17429599/4240654) like so:

import subprocess 
chrome = subprocess.Popen(["/opt/google/chrome/chrome", "--no-first-run", "--dom-automation", "--testing-channel=NamedTestingInterface:e7379994e192097cde140d3ffd949c92"],  cwd="/")
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
chromedriver_server = Service('/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver', 0)
chromedriver_server.start()
from selenium.webdriver import Remote
driver = Remote(chromedriver_server.service_url,
    {"chrome.channel": 'e7379994e192097cde140d3ffd949c92', "chrome.noWebsiteTestingDefaults": True})

I ran this all in Python interpreter. Chromedriver window opens, but is not showing the 'synced in' account and icon. This is necessary for me because Im trying to run a script on a Google Voice messages to delete so I have to log in.

I tried the two flag methods also:

from selenium import webdriver
chromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chromeOptions.add_experimental_option(
    'excludeSwitches',
    ['disable-hang-monitor',
     'dom-automation',
     'full-memory-crash-report',
     'no-default-browser-check',
     'no-first-run',
     'safebrowsing-disable-auto-update',
     'safebrowsing-disable-download-protection',
     'disable-component-update',
     'enable-logging',
     'log-level=1',
     'ignore-certificate-errors',
     'disable-prompt-on-repost',
     'disable-background-networking',
     'disable-sync',
     'disable-translate',
     'disable-web-resources',
     'disable-client-side-phishing-detection',
     'disable-component-update',
     'disable-default-apps',
     'disable-zero-browsers-open-for-tests'])

chromeDriver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chromeOptions)
chromeDriver.get("https://www.google.com/voice/b/1?gsessionid=adebrtbrt&pli=1#inbox/p89")
