Adding my answer to help users who are still looking for ChromeOptions and Capabilities with Selenium latest version.

Passing capabilities to ChromeDriver constructor is Deprecated from v3.6.0. Source code Reference

ChromeDriver(Capabilities capabilities)
Deprecated. 
Use ChromeDriver(ChromeOptions) instead.

Instead you should start using something like below :

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
options.setUnhandledPromptBehaviour(UnexpectedAlertBehaviour.ACCEPT);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options)

You can still have your capabilities defined, but make sure you merge these capabilities with ChromeOptions like below:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("something", true);

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
options.merge(capabilities);
