Selenium newer Chrome cannot disable browser notification (Tried other solns) - selenium

Question

I know this is an old question, and I've tried answers from a few posts such as Disable Chrome notifications (Selenium)
Unfortunately none worked, the browser notification popup still comes and interrupts my simulations.
My Chrome version is 75.0.3770.100 (Official Build) (64-bit), running on MacOS.
Edit:
After this question was marked as a duplicate of How to disable push-notifications using Selenium for Firefox and Chrome?, I've tried the solutions, but it still did not work for me.
String chromePath = "somepath/selenium-2.48.2/chromedriver";
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromePath);
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
prefs.put("credentials_enable_service", false);
prefs.put("profile.password_manager_enabled", false);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Below are the original solutions I tried.
String chromePath = "somepathto/chromedriver";
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromePath);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
// Login
try {
driver.get(sometestURL);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
// do some operations
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
I also tried this:
String chromePath = "somepath/selenium-2.48.2/chromedriver";
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications", 2);
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromePath);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
But the notification still comes "xxxxwebsite wants to show notifications Allow Block" on the upper left of the window.
What I did not do right?

Answer 1

I just tested this on Windows with Chrome 75.0.3770.142 (64 bit) and ChromeDriver 75.0.3770.90 (see log below) against web site https://www.nzz.ch (because it asks for permission to show push notifications). I used Selenium 3.14.0.
08:27:37.184 [main] INFO i.g.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager - Exporting webdriver.chrome.driver as C:\Users\xxxxx\.m2\repository\webdriver\chromedriver\win32\75.0.3770.90\chromedriver.exe
Starting ChromeDriver 75.0.3770.90 (a6dcaf7e3ec6f70a194cc25e8149475c6590e025-refs/branch-heads/3770#{#1003}) on port 32864
For me the switch also mentioned here and in the linked resources reliably deactivates the popup from being displayed:
options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
Changing the default setting profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications is not necessary in my case. So if this does not work for you
either you are not setting the option correctly,
you are using a (possibly outdated) ChromeDriver version not supporting it or
for some reason on MacOS the driver does not implement it.
P.S.: In both Firefox and Chrome for me it was not problem to e.g. click links and navigate to other pages even during the notification pop-up was shown. Did you have any problems there or is the pop-up just an annoyance?
