Answer 1

The official way to customize the Chrome options from within selenium:

    # renaming import in order to avoid collision with Options for other browsers, so that you can also use e.g.
    # from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options as FirefoxOptions

    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options as ChromeOptions


    options = ChromeOptions()
    options.add_argument("--headless")
    options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
    options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
    options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
    options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
    options.add_argument('window-size=1920,1080')

    # only necessary if you want to use a specific binary location
    # options.binary_location = '/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium'

    driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
