title: Can I run Selenium ChromeDriver with cookies from actual Chrome installation?
body: <p>So I'm running a selenium test using IntelliJ IDEA + chromedriver on an Ubuntu machine...</p>
  
  <p>In my Google Chrome installation, I have logged in to an account, say Google. When I access <a href="http://accounts.google.com" rel="noreferrer">http://accounts.google.com</a> in the selenium test, I get to the log in page instead of the actual account management page.</p>
  
  <p>I'm pretty sure that I don't fully understand the exact way that Selenium and the chrome driver operate, but I do remember that having 'Google Chrome installed in the default location' is one of the requirements of running a Selenium test with the chrome driver.</p>
  
  <p>Can I run in the context of my installed browser i.e. have access to my browser history and cookies? </p>
