very long wait to open simple webpage via Driver with binary_location

[Marwan0]

when i use Driver and pass binary_location of ChromeDriver.exe , the script hang and take very very long time to do any action , here is the script i use
`
import os
import sys
import time
from seleniumbase import Driver
from multiprocessing import Pool
import multiprocessing as mp

def get_binary_file_path(relative_path):
"""Get the path to the binary file whether script is run as a script or as an executable."""
if hasattr(sys, '_MEIPASS'):
return os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS, relative_path)
else:
return os.path.join(os.path.abspath("."), relative_path)

def test_function(I):

driver = Driver(binary_location=r"D:\Python\Prime_checker\chrome.exe",headless=False, undetectable=True)
try:
    driver.get("https://gaming.amazon.com/home")
    time.sleep(3)
    driver.execute_script("window.open('https://www.youtube.com');")
    time.sleep(2)
    driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[0])
    time.sleep(1)
    driver.quit()

except Exception as e:
    driver.quit()
    print(e)

if name == "main":
mp.freeze_support()
for i in range(5):
p = Pool(processes=3)
p.map(test_function, range(3))
p.close()
p.join()
time.sleep(0.5)

Only pytest multithreading is supported via pytest-xdist.
(In the pytest Syntax Formats, the driver is automatically quit at the end of each test.)

Other multithreading systems such as multiprocessing.Pool are likely to experience issues, such as slowness, poor handling of resources in threads, and other issues.

On top of that, you used the JS window.open() method instead of the built-in UC Mode methods for opening a URL, which may lead to issues. The UC Mode methods will automatically handle tab-switching as needed.

The UC Mode methods:

driver.uc_open(url)
driver.uc_open_with_tab(url)
driver.uc_open_with_reconnect(url, reconnect_time=None)
driver.uc_click(selector)
driver.uc_switch_to_frame(frame)

If you don't need to bypass bot-detection while opening a URL in UC Mode, use: driver.default_get(url), which loads a URL faster because there's no disconnect time between chromedriver and Chrome.

The reason of going for that approach is i need to open 4 browsers for the same test and all that will be execute via exe from pyinstaller, do you have any recommendation or better implementation? I used Driver because i need to execute throw pure python Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

The SB() format can also be run with pure Python. (Not just the Driver() format.)

A lot of the example tests that use the BaseCase pytest format have this special line:

BaseCase.main(__name__, __file__)

That triggers pytest when the script is run with pure python. Maybe it's enough for pyinstaller ... maybe not.
