--ignore-certificate-errors
how to get rid of this warning

[MrSimonC]

This took me an hour of searching to work this one out!

in this file:
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\splinter\driver\webdriver\chrome.py
add:

#added from https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=799
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["ignore-certificate-errors"])

so that your code looks something like this:

class WebDriver(BaseWebDriver):
    driver_name = "Chrome"
    def __init__(self, user_agent=None, wait_time=2, **kwargs):
        options = Options()
        if user_agent is not None:
            options.add_argument("--user-agent=" + user_agent)
        #added from https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=799
        options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["ignore-certificate-errors"])
        self.driver = Chrome(chrome_options=options, **kwargs)
        self.element_class = WebDriverElement
        self._cookie_manager = CookieManager(self.driver)
        super(WebDriver, self).__init__(wait_time)

as you might have guessed by now, you can read more about the problem here:
