I am running automated (python) selenium tests on a chrome browser, and sometimes when a page is reloaded a popup appears on the screeen:
Is it possible to configure the chrome selenium browser in such a way, that this popup does not appear? If so, how to do that? Or are there other ways to supress this popup? Or to accept it?

For java, you can usee the following code,
// Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path_to_chromedriver");
// Create ChromeOptions instance
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
// Disable pop-ups
options.addArguments("--disable-popup-blocking");
// Create WebDriver instance
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
// Rest of your code...
Hope this helps. Thanks.

This popup with text as Reload site? Changes you made may not be saved is the implementation of onbeforeunload
property of WindowEventHandlers
The onbeforeunload property of the WindowEventHandlers mixin is the EventHandler for processing beforeunload events. These events fire when a window is about to unload its resources. At this point, the document is still visible and the event is still cancelable.
There are different strategies available to handle this popup.
Chrome solution: Using --disable-popup-blocking
through ChromeOptions():
from selenium import webdriver
options.add_argument("--disable-popup-blocking")
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=/path/to/chromedriver')
Firefox solution: Using dom.disable_beforeunload
through FirefoxProfile():
from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("dom.disable_beforeunload", True)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile = profile)
Cross Browser solution: As a Cross Browser solution, you can disable this dialog invoking the executeScript()
to set window.onbeforeunload as function() {};
and you can use the following solution:
driver.execute_script("window.onbeforeunload = function() {};")
JQuery based solution:
$I->executeJS( "window.onbeforeunload = null" );

I know this doesn't answer the suppression part of the question, but..
Try this piece of code for accepting the popup:
driver.SwitchTo().Alert().Accept();
