Disable Chrome notifications (Selenium)

Question

I just want to disable Chrome notifications in the Chrome opened by a Selenium Java application. (using java code)

Notifications like this one:

The problem is that settings manually set are lost after browser's window is closed.

Solution 1

This question was answered in the: "chromedriver-users" google forum. This is the working answer:

Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

Solution 2

you can use:

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-notifications")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)

Solution 3

            ChromeOptions ops = new ChromeOptions();
            ops.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "./lib/chromedriver");
            driver = new ChromeDriver(ops);

Solution 4

Someone needs this for Capybara or Watir, you can pass the --disable-notifications as an argument like "--start-fullscreen", "--disable-infobars". The following workes:

Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|
  args = ["--disable-notifications"]
  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, {:browser => :chrome, :args => args})
end

Please provide mor information, not only code, like how does this work or why this is better than the existing solution

While this code may answer the question, providing information on how and why it solves the problem improves its long-term value

This works best by passing an argument --disable-notifications to the application as of Chrome version 74
