How to rotate various user agents using selenium python on each request

问题

I want to make 10 requests to https://www.google.com/ but with random user agents using selenium and python. I've a loop and inside that loop I'm making 10 requests with random user agents (using fake-user agent). The main problem is for every request web driver is opening a new instance of google chrome and I want to do this in one single instance but with different user agents. How can I make this possible ? 1 google chrome instance and 10 requests with 10 random user agents. Here is my code:

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
ua = UserAgent()
for i in range(0, 10):
    userAgent = ua.random
    chrome_options.add_argument('--user-agent="' + str(userAgent) + '"')
    driver1 = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options, 
    executable_path="C:/Python34/chromedriver")
    driver1.get('https://www.google.com/')
    time.sleep(5)

No. When you configure an instance of a ChromeDriver with ChromeOptions to initiate a new Chrome Browser Session the configuration of the ChromeDriver remains unchanged throughout the lifetime of the ChromeDriver and remains uneditable. So you can't change the user agent when the WebDriver instance is executing the loop making 10 requests.

Even if you are able to extract the ChromeDriver and ChromeSession attributes e.g. UserAgent, Session ID, Cookies and other session attributes from the already initiated Browsing Session still you won't be able to change those attributes of the ChromeDriver.

A cleaner way would be to call driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close and destroy the ChromeDriver and Chrome Browser instances gracefully and then span a new set of ChromeDriver and Chrome Browser instance with the new set of configurations.

Here you can find a relevant discussion on How can I reconnect to the browser opened by webdriver with selenium?

it open 10 chrome instance because you did notclose() it, try

...
...
driver1.get('https://www.whatsmyua.info/')
time.sleep(5)
driver1.close()

Yes. It is possible now with cdp:

driver.execute_cdp_cmd("Network.enable", {})
driver.execute_cdp_cmd("Network.setExtraHTTPHeaders", {"headers": {"User-Agent": "browser1"}})
driver.execute_cdp_cmd("Network.setExtraHTTPHeaders", {"headers": {"User-Agent": "browser2"}})
driver.execute_cdp_cmd("Network.setExtraHTTPHeaders", {"headers": {"User-Agent": "browser3"}})

driver.get('https://www.httpbin.org/headers')
