        \WebDriverCapabilityType::BROWSER_NAME => 'chrome',
        \WebDriverCapabilityType::PROXY => [
            'proxyType' => 'manual',
            'httpProxy' => PROXY_DOMAIN.':'.PROXY_PORT,
            'sslProxy' => PROXY_DOMAIN.':'.PROXY_PORT,
            'noProxy' =>  PROXY_EXCEPTION // to run locally
        ],
    ];
$webDriver = \RemoteWebDriver::create($wd_host, $capabilities, 250000, 250000);
...........
...........
// Wait for 3 seconds
$webDriver->wait(3);
// Scrolls the page vertically by 70 pixels 
$webDriver->executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, 70);");
