1. Instantiate (creation of object) driver object with webdriver.Chrome() (This step opens the chrome browser)
driver = webdriver.Chrome("chromedriver path need to be passed")
2. Now, next steps of maximizing the browser, setting implicit timeout for driver object and launch of expected website can be carried out
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
3. Quit/close the driver object after automating the necessary flows within the website.
driver.quit()
Sample code for reference
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome("chromedriver path has to be passed")
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
driver.quit()
