How to disable load javascript in C# ChromeDriver?

Question

I'm using the Selenium ChromeDriver with C#. I want to disable javascript to increase the testing speed. I have found a way to disable loading images, but I can't find how to disable javascript.

Update: I can disable js with the Firefox Driver using C#. The Question is how to disable javascript using the C# ChromeDriver specifically.

That link is about Firefox setting. I want to set the chromedriver with C#. — MagDev

I don't know why people are downvoting this question. It's a valid question and the documentation isn't clear how to do this. — DalSoft

You need to set Experimental Options this is how you do it in C#.

var outPutDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);

var chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("profile.managed_default_content_settings.javascript", 2);

var driver = new ChromeDriver(outPutDirectory, chromeOptions.ToCapabilities());

Thanks for reply. I tested with this code. But I got an error. "invalid argument: entry 0 of 'firstMatch' is invalid from invalid argument:cannot parse capability:goog:chromeoptions"

It might need chromeOptions.ToCapabilities() changed last line answer.

When create new ChromeDriver, constructor of chromedriver has no option about DesiredCapabilites.
