title: Passing options to chrome driver selenium
body: <p>I am trying to disable the output to the console for chrome. If I pass the --start-maximized option it works fine. I may have the wrong command?</p>
  
  <pre><code>DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
  capabilities.setCapability("chrome.switches", Arrays.asList("--silent"));
  chrome = new ChromeDriver(_chromeservice,capabilities);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried </p>
  
  <pre><code> ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
   options.addArguments("silent");
   chrome = new ChromeDriver(options);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output</p>
