Passing options to chrome driver selenium

Question

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?

As of Selenium 3 at least, you can use ChromeDriverService and its inner class Builder to be able to launch the driver in silent mode.

A oneliner for that:

new ChromeDriver(new ChromeDriverService.Builder().withSilent(true).build());

The constructor is straight-forward, you create a new service builder setting silent to true (that's the critical part) and you finally build it into a ChromeDriverService which is required by ChromeDriver's constructor.
