ChromeDriver not opening new page with chrome_options parameter

I'm trying to use the following code to open a new page using ChromeDriver
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"path of chromedriver.exe",chrome_options=options)
I still get the "DevTools listening on...." print but no new page is being opened. If however I run:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = r"path")
without the chrome_options parameter, the page opens. Not sure why this is?

chrome_options was deprecated long back.
DeprecationWarning: use options instead of chrome_options
you have to use an instance of options instead as well as pass the absolute path of the ChromeDriver along with the extension as follows:
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"path of chromedriver.exe", options=options)

Use following code :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options as ChromeOptions
#object of ChromeOptions
op = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
#add option
op.add_argument('--enable-extensions')
#pass option to webdriver object
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=op)

Disable images in Selenium Python with chromedriver

I would like to speed up the loading of selenium python pages. I have found several codes, but the problem is that it only loads me one right main window, and then the next ones where the images load. What is the best code? Thanks

Preference are not supported in headless mode so a universal method would be to add arguments :
from selenium import webdriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--blink-settings=imagesEnabled=false')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&safe=off&hl=en&gl=ar&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ALeKk02lEcMPPT8VE72p7l8mkzkQmdAtqA%3A1615809915268&source=hp&biw=1920&bih=937&ei=e01PYPuIDszDgQa76aHIBQ&q=stackoverflow+meme&oq=stackov&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAxgAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADoECCMQJzoICAAQsQMQgwE6BQgAELEDULcRWMYaYLcjaABwAHgAgAFGiAHoApIBATeYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZw&sclient=img")
driver.get("https://www.google.com/search?q=stackoverflow+&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjL7MOCobLvAhVUweYKHYNYC3oQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=stackoverflow+&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIECCMQJzIECAAQQzIECAAQQzICCAAyAggAMgIIADIECAAQQzICCAAyAggAMgIIAFDtvQFY7b0BYIq_AWgAcAB4AIABPogBPpIBATGYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=gE1PYMusCtSCmweDsa3QBw&bih=937&biw=1920&gl=ar&safe=off&hl=en")
This will disable all the images

You can do it including this code in your script:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"profile.managed_default_content_settings.images": 2}
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)

Why does headless in python selenium with Chromium not work?

I'm try to run a code on my Raspberry Pi headless. In normal mode it works totally fine, but if I try to make it headless the code "ignores" it.
I tried different ways of headless, with -- or without , it didn't changes anything.
My current code looks so:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
options = Options()
options.add_argument ("-headless")
options.add_argument ("-disable-gpu")
allesFertig = True
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = options, executable_path ='/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver')
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
Any ideas to fix it ?

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
options = Options()
options.add_argument ("headless")
options.add_argument ("disable-gpu")
allesFertig = True
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = options, executable_path ='/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver')
just remove second driver , you are creating chrome instance again without options thats why its opening GUI

I'm pretty new to programming.So i have this code its supposed to log me in at instagram but i doesnt works.

Disable python chrome driver extensions without lose driver path

I started having issues running a python script which uses selenium and chrome driver, so I want to disable extensions of chrome driver using python without losing the path where the driver is located.
Currently I have the below:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
path_to_Ie = 'C:\\Python34\\ChromeDriver\\ChromeDriver.exe'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = path_to_Ie)
url = 'https://wwww.test.com/'
browser.get(url)
and I would like to add the below lines:
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
Any idea how I can merge both codes to make it work properly?
Thanks a lot.

Just provide multiple keyword arguments:
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=path_to_Ie, chrome_options=chrome_options)
