https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/selectorshub/ndgimibanhlabgdgjcpbbndiehljcpfh/
2. Open a new tab with url http://crxextractor.com/ and click on ‘Start for Free’ then paste the SelectorsHub chrome store url given in step1 into the textfield. Click on download the crx to your local.
3. Now add the below lines of code into your script before initiating the WebDriver instance in your script:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(new File(“path of the crx extension on your local machine”));
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
