Using Selenium, enable “Pop-ups and redirects” in Chrome

Question

Is there a way to enable "Pop-ups and redirects" in Chrome using Selenium? Am I using the ' disable-popup-blocking ' argument incorrectly?

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-popup-blocking")
capabilities = {'chromeOptions':{'useAutomationExtension':False}}
chrome_options.binary_location = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application' 

When I start Chrome using code above, the setting is still on. Thank you.

I believe you're using incorrect setting, at least I fail to see anything like --disable-popup-blocking at Capabilities & ChromeOptions page.

My expectation is that you should amend your code to look like:

chrome_options = Options()
prefs = {"profile.default_content_settings.popups": 1}
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs)
capabilities = {'chromeOptions':{'useAutomationExtension':False}}
chrome_options.binary_location = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application'
