Please enable headless chrome on my account. In reference with: https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/13623/#id_post_68541

Sure, no problem -- that's done now. If you want to use Chrome, you'll need to upgrade Selenium for your account -- for example, if you're using Python 3.7, run this in Bash:

pip3.7 install --user --upgrade selenium

...and then you can run Selenium with Chrome using code like this:

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

try:
    browser.get("https://www.google.com")
    print("Page title was '{}'".format(browser.title))

finally:
    browser.quit()

Hi, not trying to hijack this post, but would it also be possible to activate headless chrome on my account as well? I'm trying to create a task that firefox is unable to execute. Thank you if possible.

Sure! You just need to follow the next steps from my post above.

Hello conrad. It is giving '(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/chromium-browser is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)' error while i try to use headless chrome with the settings in your post above. Could you please check it's enabling or if another problem occurs please let me know sir. Thank you.

Are you running that in a console that you created after @conrad made the change?
