Proxy Currency

You can make sure that your IP address and confidential information is protected with the help of special online services. It is recommended to perform such checks to confirm or deny the security of personal IP on a regular basis. It will help to avoid many troubles, including blocking your work in the network.

The main scenarios for using a proxy server: bypassing blocking, hiding the real IP, protection of confidential data when connecting to public WiFi access points, interaction with blocked applications, connection to closed portals, forums (which operate only in one country, region).

To reduce the resource consumption of Selenium with Google Chrome, you can try the following methods:

1. Use ChromeOptions:

You can use the ChromeOptions class to configure ChromeDriver settings that can help reduce resource consumption. For example, you can set the window size to a smaller value or disable certain features like animations and extensions.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

driver.get('your_url')

# Rest of your code

driver.quit()

2. Use a headless browser:

A headless browser is a browser that runs without a graphical user interface (GUI). Running a headless browser can reduce resource consumption, as it doesn't require rendering a visual interface. You can enable headless mode by adding the --headless argument to the ChromeOptions.

3. Limit the number of concurrent instances:

If you're running multiple instances of Selenium with ChromeDriver, consider limiting the number of concurrent instances to avoid overloading your system resources.

4. Use a lighter browser:

Consider using a lighter browser like Firefox or Edge instead of Google Chrome. These browsers generally consume fewer resources than Chrome, and you can still use Selenium with them.

5. Close unnecessary browser tabs:

Close any unnecessary browser tabs or windows to free up system resources.

6. Optimize your code:

Review your Selenium code to identify and remove any unnecessary or inefficient operations that may be consuming resources. For example, avoid using excessive loops, and use explicit waits instead of implicit waits.

Remember that the specific resource consumption of Selenium with Google Chrome depends on various factors, including the complexity of the web pages you're testing, the number of elements on the page, and the performance of your system. Experiment with the above methods to find the best combination for your needs.

Open the "Browser Properties" in the control panel, in the "Connections" section of the opened window select "Network Settings". Remove the check mark from the "Use proxy" item, click "OK".

A proxy server passes all traffic through itself, acting as an intermediary between the user and the remote server. It is most often used to conceal the real IP, to conditionally change the user's location, or to analyze traffic (for example, when testing web applications).
