Answer 1

I used all of suggested chrome options in C# and only when my internet connected worked for me but when internet disconnected none of them work for me. (I'm not sure.may be chrome safebrowsing need to internet connection)

By using older version of chrome(version71) and chromedriver(version 2.46) and after downloading,i saw downloaded XML file name constains 'Unconfirmed' with 'crdownload' extension and parsing XML file wouldn't work properly. Finally, creating wait with Thread.Sleep(1000) solved my problem.

            IWebDriver Driver;

            //chromedriver.exe version2.46 path
            string path = @"C:\cd71";
            ChromeDriverService driverService = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(path, "chromedriver.exe");
            ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
            // options.AddArgument("headless");
            options.AddArgument("--window-position=-32000,-32000");
            options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", @"c:\xmlFiles");
            options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.prompt_for_download", false);
            options.AddUserProfilePreference("disable-popup-blocking", "true");
            options.AddUserProfilePreference("safebrowsing.enabled", "true");
            Driver = new ChromeDriver(driverService, options);

            try
            {
                 Driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(url);
                 Thread.Sleep(1000);
                 //other works like: XML parse
            }
            catch
            {

            }
