I am facing the error in chrome which is "You Are Using An Unsupported Command-Line Flag –Ignore-Certificate-Errors. Stability And Security Will Suffer." for my below selenium code.

Public Sub key()
  Dim selenium As New SeleniumWrapper.WebDriver  
  selenium.Start "chrome", "https://google.com/"
selenium.stop

I have searched the same error solution in below link.

Please show us your code that sets up the Capabilities for your ChromeDriver. This is where you are already setting up that flag. — Breaks Software

I could not find documentation for SeleniumWrapper. So, I assumed that SeleniumWrapper.WebDriver.Start doesn't handle any `ChromeOptions' related arguments.

If the above assumption is true, one cannot apply the given solution in C#.

Instead, you may try the following: (I referenced this)

Imports OpenQA.Selenium
Imports OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome

...
...

Public Sub key()

  Dim service As OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriverService = OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService()

  Dim chromeOptions As New OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeOptions()
  chromeOptions.AddExcludedArgument("ignore-certifcate-errors")
  chromeOptions.AddArgument("test-type")

  Dim driver As IWebDriver = New ChromeDriver(service, chromeOptions)
  driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://google.com/")

  driver.Quit()

End Sub

I added couple lines from my experience running Selenium in C#.

Please provide where SeleniumWrapper with its documentation to determine if one can/cannot set ChromeOptions for SeleniumWrapper.
