Outube Proxy

To disable a proxy-server in Yandex browser, you need to do the following steps:

Open the browser. Click on the icon "?" in the upper right corner. Go to "Settings". Type "proxy" in the search box. Click on "Proxy settings". In the tab that opens, select "Network settings". Disable the "Use proxy server" option.

The error "Unable to locate element" in Selenium usually occurs when the web element you are trying to interact with is not present in the DOM (Document Object Model) at the time your script tries to locate it. This could be due to several reasons, such as

The element is not present on the page when the script tries to locate it.

The element is present but not visible (e.g., hidden by CSS or not yet rendered).

The element has a different ID, name, or other attributes than expected.

The element is dynamically loaded after the initial page load (e.g., via JavaScript).

To resolve this issue, you can try the following:

Wait for the element to be present: Use explicit or implicit waits to wait for the element to be present and visible before interacting with it. Explicit wait example:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# Explicit wait example
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "element_id")))

Implicit wait example:

driver.implicitly_wait(10)  # Set an implicit wait of 10 seconds
element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "element_id")

Wait for the element to be clickable: If you want to click the element, you can wait for it to be clickable instead of just present. Clickable wait example:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions import element_to_be_clickable

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "element_id")))

Check the element's locator: Ensure that the locator (e.g., ID, name, XPath, CSS selector) you are using is correct and unique to the element you want to interact with. If multiple elements have the same locator, you may inadvertently interact with the wrong one.

Handle dynamic elements: If the element is dynamically loaded after the initial page load, you may need to use JavaScript to interact with it directly or to scroll to the element before interacting with it.

JavaScript example:

script = "arguments[0].click();"
button = driver.find_element(By.ID, "button_id")
driver.execute_script(script, button)

Refresh the page: If the element is still not present or not visible, you may need to refresh the page or navigate to a different page where the element is present.

Remember to replace "element_id", "button_id", and other placeholders with the actual element identifiers in your code.

To run Firefox with Selenium and connected extensions, you'll need to use the FirefoxDriverService and FirefoxOptions. You can also set the path to the Firefox executable and the path to the extensions' .xpi files using the FirefoxBinary and FirefoxProfile classes. Here's an example of how to do this:

Install the required NuGet packages:

Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox.WebDriver -Version 3.141.0
Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI -Version 3.141.0

Create a method to add extensions to the Firefox profile:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

public static IWebDriver CreateFirefoxDriverWithExtensions(string[] extensionPaths)
{
    var firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
    var firefoxBinary = new FirefoxBinary(Path.GetDirectoryName(FirefoxDriverService.DefaultServicePath));
    var firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();

    // Add extensions to the Firefox profile
    foreach (var extensionPath in extensionPaths)
    {
        var extensionFile = new FileInfo(extensionPath);
        if (extensionFile.Exists)
        {
            firefoxProfile.AddExtension(extensionPath);
        }
    }

    firefoxOptions.BinaryLocation = firefoxBinary.Path;
    firefoxOptions.Profile = firefoxProfile;

    // Start the FirefoxDriverService with the specified Firefox binary
    var driverService = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(firefoxBinary.Path, FirefoxDriverService.DefaultPort);
    driverService.EnableVerboseLogging = true;

    // Create the FirefoxDriver with the specified options
    var driver = new FirefoxDriver(driverService, firefoxOptions);

    return driver;
}

Use the CreateFirefoxDriverWithExtensions method in your test code:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using System;

namespace SeleniumFirefoxExtensionsExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Paths to the extensions' .xpi files
            string[] extensionPaths = new[]
            {
                @"path\to\extension1.xpi",
                @"path\to\extension2.xpi"
            };

            // Create the FirefoxDriver with connected extensions
            using (var driver = CreateFirefoxDriverWithExtensions(extensionPaths))
            {
                // Set up the WebDriver
                driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

                // Navigate to the target web page
                driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.example.com");

                // Perform any additional actions as needed

                // Close the browser
                driver.Quit();
            }
        }
    }
}

In this example, we first create a method called CreateFirefoxDriverWithExtensions that takes an array of extension paths as input. Inside the method, we set up the FirefoxOptions, FirefoxBinary, and FirefoxProfile to include the specified extensions. Then, we start the FirefoxDriverService with the specified Firefox binary and create the FirefoxDriver with the specified options.

In the test code, we call the CreateFirefoxDriverWithExtensions method with the paths to the extensions' .xpi files and use the returned IWebDriver instance to interact with the browser.

Remember to replace "path\to\extension1.xpi" and "path\to\extension2.xpi" with the actual paths to the extensions' .xpi files you want to connect.

If you plan to use a proxy every day, it is recommended to pay attention to paid services. There, the connection is as reliable as possible, with no bandwidth limitations. However, the performance of numerous free proxies is not guaranteed.

The first thing you need to do to use a proxy in your browser is to make the necessary settings. In Google Chrome browser, go to "Network" and then find and click on "Change proxy settings". In the "Internet properties" window that opens, go to "Connection" and click on the "Network settings" button at the bottom. When a new window opens, check the "Use proxy server for local connections" box and the "Do not use proxy server for local addresses" box. Enter the proxy port and IP address in the corresponding fields, close the window and click "OK".
