Hi @KritikaSahare1611
Were you able to find a solution to this ?

[KritikaSahare1611]

@aroras25 you can use

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.logging.Level;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LogType;
import org.openqa.selenium.logging.LoggingPreferences;
public class ChromeOptionsCapability {

private ChromeOptionsCapability() {
}

private static ThreadLocal<String> dr = new ThreadLocal<>();


public static String getMethodName() {
	return dr.get();
}

public static void setMethodName(String methodName) {
	dr.set(methodName);
}

public static void unload() {
	dr.remove();
}


public static ChromeOptions setChromeOptions()
{
	return new ChromeOptions().addArguments("--disable-notifications")
   .addArguments("disable-infobars").addArguments("start-maximized").addArguments("--remote-allow-origins=*");
}

public static ChromeOptions setChromeOptionsSelenoid()

	HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
	chromePrefs.put("intl.accept_languages", "hi");
	LoggingPreferences logPrefs = new LoggingPreferences();

	.addArguments("--remote-allow-origins=*");
	ops.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs);
	ops.setCapability("goog:loggingPrefs", logPrefs);
	ops.setCapability("browserVersion", "latest");
