- Get the URL https://pythonexamples.org/ using web driver object.
- Find element by link text 'OpenCV' and click on the element.
- Press browser’s back button using driver.back().
- Press browser’s forward button using driver.forward().
Python Program
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
import time
# Setup chrome driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
driver.set_window_size(600,800)
# Navigate to the url
driver.get('https://pythonexamples.org/')
# Optional
time.sleep(5)
# Navigate to the url
driver.get('https://pythonexamples.org/selenium/')
# Optional
time.sleep(5)
