title: how to solve Selenium ChromeDriver Timed out receiving message from renderer exception
body: <p>I'm getting the below error while page transition, by clicking on submit button. It looks like there was an issue with the newest Chrome release. Without the disable-gpu Chromeoption set, the renderer will occasionally timeout. The workaround until Google fixes this (if they do fix it at all) is to add the <code>--disable-gpu</code> attribute to the ChromeOptions.  </p>
