can I block some network connections in selenium chromedriver for java?-CodePudding

If I use chrome dev tools I can block some requests in the current page using the "Network request blocking" feature. see image

can I achieve the same using selenium chhromedriver to block some items in the webpage, for example if I have my java code

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(service, options);
driver.get(scan.getUrl());

the idea here is download the page faster by blocking uninteresting things for me.

CodePudding user response：

The API for DevTools is available in Selenium 4. For example enabling request blocking can be achieved like this:

    ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.getDevTools().createSession();
    driver.getDevTools().send(Network.enable(Optional.empty(), Optional.empty(), Optional.empty()));
    driver.getDevTools().send(Network.setBlockedURLs(Arrays.asList(
            "https://foo/*",
            "https://bar/*",
            "https://baz/*")));
