Use Brave Browser with standalone chromium

[hhohp-120kg]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has had success with setting the options.binary_location in their webdriver.Remote() setup. I am installing Brave (a chromium browser) in a custom docker image as follows:

FROM selenium/standalone-chromium:latest

COPY entrypoint.sh entrypoint.sh
RUN sudo chmod +x entrypoint.sh
RUN curl -fsS https://dl.brave.com/install.sh | sh

ENTRYPOINT ["./entrypoint.sh"]

This installs Brave in the /opt/brave.com/brave/brave directory. When I pass this directory to the options, I can see in the post-creation logs that is has been set - however the remote webdriver is not using it. No error is given, Chrome is simply used instead, which leads me to believe it is perhaps being ignored.

I saw elsewhere that options.set_capability("goog:chromeOptions", {"binary": brave_path}) can help, however it did not solve the issue.

I am thinking this is potentially to do with the selenium/standalone-chromium:latest image - when I run selenium grid locally with java -jar selenium-server-4.30.0.jar standalone, then Brave works fine.

Does the standalone chromium docker image only support Chrome? Any help is appreciated, thank you.
