[Python] Chrome profile is selected but not loading the website with Selenium

I’m using Selenium with Python to open a Chrome browser using my existing user profile. The browser opens, and the correct profile is selected, but when I try to navigate to a website (like YouTube), it just keeps loading and never finishes.

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

# Path to your ChromeDriver
chrome_driver_path = r"C:\Users\msi\Downloads\chromedriver-win64\chromedriver-win64\chromedriver.exe"

# Path to your Chrome user profile
user_profile_path = r"C:\Users\msi\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data"
profile_directory = "Profile 6"

# Setup Chrome options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument(f"user-data-dir={user_profile_path}")
chrome_options.add_argument(f"profile-directory={profile_directory}")

# Disable the "Chrome is being controlled by automated test software" infobar
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("useAutomationExtension", False)

# Start Chrome driver
service = Service(executable_path=chrome_driver_path)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=chrome_options)

# Open YouTube
driver.get("https://www.youtube.com")
