## Installation  

Basic usage:
```bash
%pip install google-colab-selenium
```

Use [undetected-chromedriver](https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver) version:
```bash
%pip install google-colab-selenium[undetected]
```


## Basic Usage
```python
from google_colab_selenium import ChromeDriver

driver = ChromeDriver()
# Your code to interact with the driver here
# ...
driver.quit()
```

## Undetected ChromeDriver

```python
from google_colab_selenium import UndetectedChromeDriver

driver = UndetectedChromeDriver()
# Your code to interact with the driver here
# ...
driver.quit()
```

## Default Options

The `google-colab-selenium` package is preconfigured with a set of default options optimized for Google Colab environments. These defaults include:

- `--headless`: Runs Chrome in headless mode (without a GUI).
- `--no-sandbox`: Disables the Chrome sandboxing feature, necessary in the Colab environment.
- `--disable-dev-shm-usage`: Prevents issues with limited shared memory in Docker containers.
- `--lang=en`: Sets the language to English.

You are welcome to extend or override these options based on your needs:

```python
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from google_colab_selenium import ChromeDriver

custom_options = Options()
# Add your custom options here
# custom_options.add_argument("--your-option")

driver = ChromeDriver(options=custom_options)
```
