Here are the C# options for anyone working with .NET

var tsTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 5, 0);

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions(); 
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", _downloadFolder); 
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.prompt_for_download", false); 
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.directory_upgrade", true); 
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("plugins.plugins_disabled", "Chrome PDF Viewer"); 
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("plugins.always_open_pdf_externally", true);

_driver = new ChromeDriver(CWebCrawler.WebCrawlerRootFolder, chromeOptions, tsTimeout);
