[Python] How to suppress Chrome GCM DEPRECATED_ENDPOINT errors when running Selenium WebDriver?

I'm running a web scraping project using Selenium with ChromeDriver in headless mode, and I'm constantly seeing the following logs in my terminal:

[20376:708:0708/170807.138:ERROR:google_apis\gcm\engine\registration_request.cc:291] Registration response error message: DEPRECATED_ENDPOINT [20376:708:0708/170937.002:ERROR:google_apis\gcm\engine\registration_request.cc:291] Registration response error message: DEPRECATED_ENDPOINT WARNING: All log messages before absl::InitializeLog() is called are written to STDERR I0000 00:00:1751975655.975515 12352 voice_transcription.cc:58] Registering VoiceTranscriptionCapability [17524:5748:0708/172416.659:ERROR:google_apis\gcm\engine\registration_request.cc:291] Registration response error message: DEPRECATED_ENDPOINT [17524:5748:0708/172417.593:ERROR:google_apis\gcm\engine\registration_request.cc:291] Registration response error message: PHONE_REGISTRATION_ERROR

Created TensorFlow Lite XNNPACK delegate for CPU. Attempting to use a delegate that only supports static-sized tensors with a graph that has dynamic-sized tensors (tensor#-1 is a dynamic-sized tensor).

These logs are not related to my scraping logic, but they spam the output and are extremely annoying.

From what I understand, this seems to be related to Chrome’s deprecated GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) system.

MY SETUP --

# Headless Chrome mode
options.add_argument('--headless=new') # Use the new headless mode (Chrome 109+)

# System and performance flags
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('--mute-audio')
options.add_argument('--metrics-recording-only')

# Disable unnecessary features
options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
options.add_argument('--disable-infobars')
options.add_argument('--disable-notifications')
options.add_argument('--disable-cloud-import')
options.add_argument('--disable-sync')
options.add_argument('--disable-client-side-phishing-detection')
options.add_argument('--disable-background-networking')
options.add_argument('--disable-background-timer-throttling')
options.add_argument('--disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows')
options.add_argument('--disable-component-update')
options.add_argument('--disable-default-apps')

# Privacy and identity
options.add_argument('--no-first-run')
options.add_argument('--no-default-browser-check')
options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
options.add_argument('--guest')

# Custom User-Agent
options.add_argument(
'user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) '
'AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) '
'Chrome/98.0.4758.102 Safari/537.36'
)

# Suppress Selenium logs
options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])

# Optional: Use a persistent user profile
if user_data_dir:
options.add_argument(f'--user-data-dir={user_data_dir}')


Despite using these, the errors still show up?
