Residential IPs Proxy

Although free proxies are popular, they are far from being flawless in their work. Many of their IP addresses are blacklisted by popular resources, and the data transfer speed and stability are very unreliable. When choosing a proxy, keep in mind that the new version of IPv6 is not supported by most websites. Note also that proxies are divided into private and public, statistical and dynamic, and support different network protocols.

To enable responsive design mode in Firefox using Selenium, you can use the webdriver.FirefoxOptions() class and set the desired options for responsive design. Here's an example in Python:

from selenium import webdriver

# Create Firefox options
firefox_options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()

# Enable responsive design mode
firefox_options.add_argument('--start-maximized')  # Start the browser in maximized mode
firefox_options.add_argument('--width=800')  # Set the initial width
firefox_options.add_argument('--height=600')  # Set the initial height

# Create the WebDriver instance with the specified options
driver = webdriver.Firefox(options=firefox_options)

# Navigate to a website
driver.get('https://example.com')

# Continue with your Selenium script...

# Close the browser when done
driver.quit()

In this example:

• --start-maximized: Opens the browser window in maximized mode.
• --width=800: Sets the initial width of the browser window to 800 pixels.
• --height=600: Sets the initial height of the browser window to 600 pixels.

You can adjust the width and height values based on your specific requirements.

Please note that the responsiveness of the design is primarily determined by the CSS media queries and how the website is designed to handle different viewport sizes. Changing the browser window size using Selenium does not necessarily trigger responsive behavior unless the website's CSS is designed to respond to changes in viewport size.

If you want to simulate specific devices with predefined sizes, you can use the mobile_emulation capability in Chrome. However, this is specific to Chrome and not available in Firefox.

from selenium import webdriver

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option('mobileEmulation', {'deviceName': 'iPhone X'})

driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get('https://example.com')

# Continue with your Selenium script...

driver.quit()

Keep in mind that responsive design testing is often more effectively done using tools built into browsers (e.g., Chrome DevTools) or specialized testing frameworks rather than relying solely on Selenium.

A proxy server is a kind of "mediator" between your equipment and a remote server (or the whole Internet). It can be used, for example, to swap your real IP address for another one, to bypass blocking. Proxies can also be actively used to intercept traffic (e.g. when testing created web applications).

The term "public" should be understood to mean open proxy servers. That is, they can be used by all users without exception. They can be insecure and are often quite overloaded, so the connection speed or response time when using public proxies can be very slow.

Go through the "Control Panel" to the "Browser Properties" section. Open the "Connections" tab, and then by clicking on the "Network settings" button at the bottom, uncheck the "Proxy server" box. Also uncheck the "Auto-detection" checkbox under "Auto-configuration".
