Capabilities are no longer editable once the browser is launched. One way to temporary disable the waiting is to implement your own get with a script injection.

Something like this:

// 
// loads the page and stops the loading without exception after 2 sec if 
// the page is still loading.
//

load(driver, "https://httpbin.org/delay/10", 2000); 

public static void load(WebDriver driver, String url, int timeout) {
  ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(
    "var url = arguments[0], timeout = arguments[1];"
    "window.setTimeout(function(){window.location.href = url}, 1);" +
    "var timer = window.setTimeout(window.stop, timeout);" +
    "window.onload = function(){window.clearTimeout(timer)}; "
    , url, timeout);
}
