Can I specify the path to chrome using ChromeOptions in Python?

I got this error: "WebDriverException: Message: executable file 'chromedriver' must be in PATH". The only way I was able to fix it was to manually add one of the chrome locations:

driver = webdriver.Chrome("/Users/anncolvin/.rvm/bin/chromedriver")

After starting Chrome, I got the following error: "You are using an unsupported command line flag: --ignore-certifcate-errors. Suffering and security will suffer."

I would like to try and use the following code to fix this new error, but I don't know how / if I can combine it with manually specifying the location of the chrome lattice?

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["ignore-
certificate-errors"])
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
browser.get("http://google.com/")

All you have to do is supply the location of the webdriver as an argument when invoking the Chrome web browser like this:



browser = webdriver.Chrome("/Users/anncolvin/.rvm/bin/chromedriver", chrome_options=options)
