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

• 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')
