I am trying to test how to use proxies using selenium in python Here's the code I am trying

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

PROXY = "164.68.123.119:9300"
opts = Options()
#opts.add_argument('--proxy-server=%s' % PROXY)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="D:/Webdrivers/chromedriver.exe", options=opts)

print(type(driver))
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
myPageTitle=driver.title
print(myPageTitle)
assert "Google" in myPageTitle
time.sleep(10)
print(driver.quit)
driver.quit()

When running the code without relying on the proxy, I got error logs like that

Any idea how to fix such errors?

To initiate Chrome browser using a proxy you can try the following solution:

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

PROXY = "164.68.123.119:9300"
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--proxy-server={}'.format(PROXY))
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\WebDriver\ChromeDriver\chromedriver.exe', options=options)
print(type(driver))
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
myPageTitle=driver.title
print(myPageTitle)
assert "Google" in myPageTitle
time.sleep(10)
driver.quit()

PS: chrome_browser_main_extra_parts_metrics.cc, device_event_log_impl.cc, usb_descriptors.cc, etc are the result of a generic bug due to Chrome/ChromeDriver compatibility which you can ignore as of now. For details check Parametrized tests are flaky due to a timeout in recording expensive metrics on startup.

Thank you very much. I am concerned most with the output logs (that show errors) in the console.
chrome_browser_main_extra_parts_metrics.cc, device_event_log_impl.c, usb_descriptors.cc, etc are generic bugs of Chrome/ChromeDriver compatibility and you can ignore as of now. Raise a new question if you want detailed answer on any of those.
In fact, that was my question about these errors in console logs
Added more details.
In fact, I put all the details I can. The code is working with no problems but as for the logging in console I got error messages. How can I fix those errors and what is the reason for those errors? And is there a way to hide such logging errors if fixing them is impossible?
