While working with Selenium Webdriver using Chrome browser you might get one additional popup. You can Disable Developer Mode Extension in Chrome using some additional code.
Before moving into this post you should be familiar with Chrome with Selenium Webdriver.
Code snippet
//Set the chrome path
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver.exe");
// Create object of ChromeOptions class
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
// add parameter which will disable the extension
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
// Start the chrome session
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
This in one of the smallest post because it solves only specific post. You can embed this code in your BaseClass or in Browser Factory which starts the test.
How can this be done in Firefox and IE as well?
Hi Guy,
You can use FirefoxOptions for same but for IE, it won’t work because there is no such development for IE from concerned vendor
HI Mukesh,
The Disable Developer Mode Extension still i get the pop up after adding the code.
options.addArguments(“–disable-extensions”);
Hi Rajasekaran,
Use options.addArguments(“–disable-notifications”);

Hi Manoji,
Good to see your reply.
Yes Mukesh. When the chrome open same popup is coming. i went to extensions. It is showing only one extension that “Chrome Automation Extension 1
Exposes extension APIs for automating Chrome”
Hi Shylaja,
Did you add the same chromeOptions in you script before calling chrome browser? Also check the version of chromedriver you are using. Upgrade it to atleast 2.26.
Thanks Mukesh Bhai. It worked
