Common ChromeOptions

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless=new", "--window-size=1920,1080", "--lang=en-IN");
options.addArguments("--incognito");
options.setPageLoadStrategy(PageLoadStrategy.EAGER);      // do not wait for every image
options.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);                     // QA with self-signed certificates
options.setBrowserVersion("130");                         // Selenium Manager downloads Chrome for Testing 130
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", Map.of(
        "download.default_directory", Path.of("target/downloads").toAbsolutePath().toString(),
        "profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2));   // block notification popups
options.setExperimentalOption("mobileEmulation", Map.of("deviceName", "Pixel 7"));
