To initiate a Brave browser session additionally you have to pass the absolute location of the brave-browser binary through the binary_location argument of an instance of ChromeOptions.

from selenium import webdriver

driver_path = "C:/Users/username/PycharmProjects/chromedriver.exe"
brave_path = "C:/Program Files (x86)/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Application/brave.exe"

option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.binary_location = brave_path
# option.add_argument("--incognito") OPTIONAL
# option.add_argument("--headless") OPTIONAL

# Create new Instance of Chrome
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, chrome_options=option)

browser.get("https://www.google.es")

Note:- Add chromedriver to path to access it without typing Location.

  1. Pass chromedriver.exe path
chromedriver_path = C:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe # this is example path you haveto pass your downloaded chromedriver path
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = "Enter your chromedriver path")
driver.get("https://github.com")
  1. You have to download chromedriver and put it in your python file's folder. Then you don't need to pass chromedriver path.
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://github.com")
