Answer 1

You can't use your non-chrome driver browser (aka regular chrome browser). Selenium only works with chrome-drivers. One way remain signed in is to specify a profile in options so that every-time the driver initiates, it loads your cookies and history.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=Amazon")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

From the code above, chrome_options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=Amazon") will create a profile 'Amazon' if not already there, and save cookies and history there.

The next time you run the driver it will load it from 'Amazon'.

Here is a blog that explains how to install a chrome browser remotely on a specific folder by installing a dedicated browser onto it to use selenium with.

This manages all data including cache, history, accounts, etc
