Answer 1

You can add this to the shortcut of the chrome browser, in the Target portion:

–test-type

This would disable any warning messages. Not the best solution, but it works.

Answer 2

For a chrome version of 58.0.3029.110, You should use Chrome.driver of 2.28 version. Download driver from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.28/

Note: If you want to download other chromedriver of other version then change version number in the above url.
