    )
    self.driver.set_window_size(1400, 920)
    self.waitdriver = WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10)

    self.driver.get('https://www.facebook.com')
    self.driver.save_screenshot(ROOT_DIR + r"\Temp\Debug\Error1.PNG")
    a = self.driver.execute_script("return navigator.userAgent")
    print(a)

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. — Community, Oct 06 '21 at 21:25

self.options.add_argument('user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.113 Safari/537.36')

Solved by Adding user-agent before the useragent. You can check here for much more browser agent.To just rotate then using random.
