I am using Chrome driver on mac, and when opening the browser I have these options

WebDriver driver; 
@Before public void setup() { 
    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); 
    options.addArguments("use-fake-ui-for-media-stream"); 
    options.addArguments("--disable-web-security"); 
    options.addArguments("--start-maximized"); 
    options.addArguments("disable-infobars"); 
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/Users/animanukyan/Drivers/chromedriver"); 
    driver = new ChromeDriver(options); 
}

but non of them seems to work, browser opens not maximized, infobars are there...

Using ChromeDriver to open Chrome maximized and without infobars:

Previously we handled through the argument disable-infobars and you can find a couple of relevant discussions in:

But from Chrome v76.x onwards to suppress the infobars you have to:

  • Use an instance of ChromeOptions and addArguments to start-maximized.
  • Use ExperimentalOption to enable-automation.
  • Use ExperimentalOption to set useAutomationExtension as false.

  • You can find a detailed discussion in Unable to hide “Chrome is being controlled by automated software” infobar within Chrome v76

  • Code Block:

    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

public class A_Chrome 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("start-maximized");
        options.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches", Collections.singletonList("enable-automation"));
        options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);
        WebDriver driver =  new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.get("https://www.google.co.in");
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }
}
