Automate Chrome Extensions With Selenium and Ruby

To launch Chrome with the default profile on Windows:

require 'selenium-webdriver'

switches = ['user-data-dir='+ENV['LOCALAPPDATA']+'\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data']
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, :switches => switches

driver.navigate.to "https://www.google.co.uk"

Or to add an extension to the created profile:

require 'selenium-webdriver'

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, 
  :desired_capabilities => Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome({
    'chromeOptions' => {
      'extensions' => [
        Base64.strict_encode64(File.open('C:\\App\\extension.crx', 'rb').read)
      ]
    }
  })

driver.navigate.to "https://www.google.co.uk"
