Selenium ChromeDriver gives "data;" error for running `webdriver.Chrome` [duplicate] - selenium

Question

I tried crawling a specific site using selenium and webdriver_manager.chrome, and my code crawled elements of that site totally. But after crawling, the following error message appears in the console window.
ERROR:gpu_init.cc(426) Passthrough is not supported, GL is disabled
When I first found it, I unchecked Hardware hardware accleration of chrome also it didn't solve the problem.

Answer 1

Tested environment
Windows OS, Chromedriver vesion 89, headless mode
Solution
I am not certain that this can be a solution for your question, since the error message is slightly different.
As I remember correctly, the error message Passthrough is not supported, GL is swiftshader has been shown after the Chromedriver version 89 as a bug (but not certain) [1].
In case of Windows, --headless and --disable-gpu options are required to make the chromedriver work as a headless mode [2]. It seems like --disable-gpu is also required for Linux because of the bug [3].
The error message does not appear if both --headless and --disable-gpu options are removed. However, the chromedriver does not work as a headless mode anymore.
In my case, the error message does not affect the operation of a headless chrome. As I found, "Normally, Chrome would just fall back to work without GPU. However, for consistent results, Telemetry requires the presence of GPU [4]."
I've additionally applied --disable-software-rasterizer option to disable WebGL [5]. The error message does not show anymore under the headless operation.

Answer 2

I had the same problem with selenium and chromedriver. For me the solution was to activate WebGL in Chrome browser. I did the following
chrome://settings -> Click Advanced at the bottom -> Check the Use hardware acceleration when available box
chrome://flags -> Search for WebGL in the search bar -> Enable / Activate WebGL
There are much better instructions here: https://superuser.com/questions/836832/how-can-i-enable-webgl-in-my-browser

Answer 3

I got this error as a result of using NVIDIA's Quadro view so for me the fix was to disable that.

Answer 4

I received this error during Eclipse Startup and fixed it by changing two things:
Now using a more recent Java VM for Eclipse, in my case I was moving from Java8 to Java11
Also moving from JRE to JDK
Add Eclipse Start Parameter:
-vm C:\PROGRA~1\ECLIPS~1\jdk-11.0.12.7-hotspot\bin\javaw.exe

Answer 5

This warning was being shown to me in a setup where chromium was running through Xvfb. I managed to get rid of this warning by adding the following flag to the command line:
--disable-features=DefaultPassthroughCommandDecoder
