Hiding ChromeDriver.exe in C# and how to embed it with executable

Question

Every time I execute application. ChromeDriver.exe gets execute. I simply wanna hide it while application gets executed. It should run in silent or headless mode. I have my code written in C# with selenium.

Answer 1

When you initialize the ChromeDriver instance, you can add this:

var chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.AddOption("--headless");

driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

This will tell ChromeDriver to run without rendernig a browser.
