Chrome Options in Python Selenium : Disable GPU vs Headless

by

You saw it right. Adding the argument --headless initiates the Chrome Browsing Context in headless mode.

However the purpose of the argument --disable-gpu was to enable google-chrome-headless on windows platform. It was needed as SwiftShader fails an assert on Windows in headless mode earlier.

This issue was resolved through Headless: make –disable-gpu flag unnecessary

You can find a relevant detailed discussion in ERROR:gpu_process_transport_factory.cc(1007)-Lost UI shared context : while initializing Chrome browser through ChromeDriver in Headless mode
