Disable images in Selenium Google ChromeDriver

Question

How does one disable images in Google chrome when using it through Selenium and c#?

I\'ve attempted 6 ways and none worked. I\'ve even tried the answer on this Stack

Answer 1

For your method 1-3, I don't see a Chrome switch called --disable-images listed here. So even if the code snippets are correct, they won't work no matter what. Where did you get that switch? Any references?

For the methods 4-6, I assume you got the idea from this chromdriver issue. I don't know if this {'profile.default_content_settings': {'images': 2}} is still valid or not, but you can give it a try with the following code (which was originally the answer to How to set Chrome preferences using Selenium Webdriver .NET binding?, answer provided by Martin Devillers).

public class ChromeOptionsWithPrefs: ChromeOptions {
    public Dictionary prefs { get; set; }
}

public static void Initialize() {
    var options = new ChromeOptionsWithPrefs();
    options.prefs = new Dictionary {
        { "profile.default_content_settings", new Dictionary() { "images", 2 } }
    };
    var driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
}
