How to disable javascript in Chrome Driver Selenium Python

Question

How can I disable Java Script in Selenium\'s Chrome Driver using python

Answer 1

It's Really easy ! Just try this code !

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option( "prefs",{'profile.managed_default_content_settings.javascript': 2})
chrome = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver',chrome_options=chrome_options)
chrome.get('http://stackoverflow.com/')

If you want to disable Images, just replace javascript with image.

Answer 2

It's really difficult. You can try doing this way:

DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
caps.setCapability("chrome.switches", Arrays.asList("--disable-javascript"));

But as it is written here, you can´t disable JavaScript if you use ChromeDriver2.

Answer 3

If you're using Nightwatch.js, the configuration you have to use is

var CHROME_CONFIGURATION = {
    browserName: 'chrome',
    "chromeOptions" : {
        "prefs" : {
            'profile.managed_default_content_settings.javascript': 2
        }
    }
};

Answer 4

Disabling JavaScript in Chrome is possible with old ChromeDriver prior to ChromeDriver2, which only supports Chrome 28 or under. try as below :-

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

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-javascript")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)

WARNING: Running without JavaScript is unsupported and will likely break a large portion of the ChromeDriver's functionality. I suspect you will be able to do little more than navigate to a page. This is NOT a supported use case, and we will not be supporting it.

Hope it will help you...:)
