I found next solution: in CromeOption I created a folder that can't be created ("NUL"), so file can't be downloaded, but I can check everything I need on a page.

chrome_profile = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
profile = {"download.default_directory": "NUL", "download.prompt_for_download": False, }
chrome_profile.add_experimental_option("prefs", profile)
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe',chrome_options=chrome_profile)
