Compatibility Settings In Chrome Driver In Multiple

You will also see how you can setup Selenium ChromeDriver in multiple ways, and then write code which can launch Chrome browser using Selenium.

In more technical words, ChromeDriver is a standalone server which implements WebDrivers wire protocol for Chromium.

Compatibility Settings In Chrome Download Selenium ChromeDriver

Let us see the steps that you can follow to download Selenium ChromeDriver.

As shown in the below image, this can be done in 2 different ways.

Let us have a detailed look at each of these steps one by one.

To remove this message, you would need to use disable-infobars argument from ChromeOptions class in your code.

Let us now jump over to the next method of setting up ChromeDriver.

Now from the Advanced Tab, click on Environment Variables button.

Now move to the end of the Variable value field, then add a semi colon (;) and then ChromeDrivers folder location (which in our case is D:Drivers).

Since you have now set the driver path in Environment variables, so you dont need to provide it in your code.

Feel free to contact us using comments section if you face any issue while implementing this.

And a good way to do this is to maximize the browser when you launch it for the first time.

With Selenium ChromeDriver, you can do this using ChromeOptions class.
