How to maximize chrome browser in default when using selenium in python

Question

When I run chrome driver from selenium the browser opens in minimized windows. but I want it to open by default as maximized

Answer 1

You can either use driver.maximize_window() or chrome_options.add_argument("--start-maximized") which will maximize the browser when ever it opens.

Answer 2

The following code was taken from this link. https://pythonbasics.org/selenium-maximize/

from selenium import webdriver 
import time

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.maximize_window()
time.sleep(5)

driver.get("https://www.python.org")

This is one of the methods to do so.
