no I'm windows OS but I think the solution is to back 2 old versions of chrome driver and chrome browser so that uc mode works fine

Try setting driver_version="129"

That workaround should work until a more permanent solution becomes available. I’m figuring out how to properly patch all the driver changes that appeared in 130.

yes It worked now thank you mintz you are a gem anyway I appreciate your work so much ♥

it seems to open two windows after driver.get(url). This is breaking the code for some websites.
What worked for me is closing the second window

handles = driver.window_handles
if len(driver.window_handles) != 1:
        for handle in handles[1:]:
            driver.switch_to.window(window_name=handle)
            driver.close()

Not a very elegant workaround , but maybe helpful if driver_version="129" isnt doing the trick.

I'm not sure what percent of people are seeing this, so I created a poll in Discord. If that link didn't work, here's the link to join the SeleniumBase Discord first: https://discord.gg/EdhQTn3EyE

I am experiencing an issue that I think is related.
I have a script that uses the Nopecha extension to autosolve reCaptcha.

Part of my script will change to the captcha iframe and check that it's been solved.

The script occasionally opens the same content in a new tab. The only problem with this is that the original tab will keep auto-solving the captcha after the solution resets, using up my credits.

The issue is related to the new structure of the user-data-dir in Chrome 130. If stopping the WebDriver service on a newly-created user-data-dir, then there could be intermittent problems when starting the WebDriver service back up. When this issue occurs, WebDriver incorrectly believes that the URL of the page is a Chrome extension (because the URL starts with chrome-extension://, which happens because the built-in Chrome extensions are one of the first items to appear in newly-created user-data-dirs). The fix is to create the user-data-dir in advance, and then tell the UC Mode browser to use that at start-up.
