We have observed bug with new driver libraries  You can use slightly old jars which are able to handle new browsers versions   The main generic option is  -  driver manage   window   maximize      You can also use other option for maximizing the browser window   Example -  Add below option and pass it to driver -      chromeOptions addArguments  --start-maximized      The full code will look like below  -  System setProperty  webdriver chrome driver   D   Workspace  JmeterWebdriverProject  src  lib  chromedriver exe    ChromeOptions chromeOptions   new ChromeOptions    chromeOptions addArguments  --start-maximized    driver   new ChromeDriver chromeOptions     OR  Toolkit toolkit   Toolkit getDefaultToolkit    int Width    int  toolkit getScreenSize   getWidth    int Height    int toolkit getScreenSize   getHeight      For Dimension class  Import following library  org openqa selenium Dimension    driver manage   window   setSize new Dimension Width Height    driver get  https   google com      Try this on safari  -  JavascriptExecutor jse    JavascriptExecutor driver  String screenWidth   jse executeScript  return screen availWidth   toString    String screenHeight   jse executeScript  return screen availHeight   toString    int intScreenWidth   Integer parseInt screenWidth   int intScreenHeight   Integer parseInt screenHeight   Dimension d   new Dimension intScreenWidth  intScreenHeight   driver manage window setSize d
