body: <p><a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/jRBdG.png" rel="nofollow">Chrome Plugin pop up</a></p>
  
  <p>When I am executing my Automation Code for this application the above popup is displayed. Now I would need to know how to disable PDF Viewer Plugin in Selenium WebDriver using Java.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I am using right now which is not working.</p>
  
  <pre><code> DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities
                                  .chrome();
                          ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
                          options.addArguments(new String[] { "test-type" });
                          options.addArguments(new String[] { "disable-extensions" });
  
  
  String pluginToDisable = "Chrome PDF Viewer";
                          options.addArguments("plugins.plugins_disabled", pluginToDisable);
  
  
                          capabilities.setCapability("chrome.binary",
                                  chromeDriver.getAbsolutePath());
                          capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY,
                                  options);
                          options.addArguments("--lang=en-gb");
                          GlobalVars.driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
  </code></pre>
