    w3c: false,
    args: ["--reduce-security-for-testing", "--start-maximized", "--disable-gpu","--safebrowsing-disable-download-protection","--disable-web-security","disable-extensions","safebrowsing-disable-extension-blacklist"],
    prefs: {
      'directory_upgrade': true,
      'download.prompt_for_download': false,
      'prompt_for_download': true,
      'download.default_directory': downloadDir,
