Use two excludeSwitches when launching Selenium Chromedriver?

My goal is to use Chrome as a service to display a fullscreen webpage on a screen. I'm tackling this challenge by creating a python script which uses Selenium to direct chrome to the correct page, and to format the site correctly. Due to the main requirement being a display it's important that the displayed webpage is unobstructed. There are two obstructions in my instance that can both be dealt with by using different excludeSwitches options:

To disable the automation bar:

chrome_options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ['enable-automation']);

To disable the 'Disable developer mode extensions' popup:

chrome_options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ['load-extension'])

However I've not found a way to implement both at the same time - I've tried:

chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", {"excludeSwitches": ['enable-automation'], "excludeSwitches": ['load-extension']});

prefs = {"excludeSwitches": ['enable-automation, load-extension'], "excludeSwitches": ['load-extension', 'enable-automation']}

chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs);

In these cases only one of these have the intended effect, depending on order. How can I get my syntax correct to apply both of these options?

Test code (excluding imports):

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions(); 
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", {"excludeSwitches": ['enable-automation', 'load-extension']})

browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
browser.get(('https://www.google.co.uk'))
