Don't wait for a page to load using Selenium ChromeDriver in vba excel

i just want to get the final url from a redirect. I can read this with url = GC2.Url but the end takes a long time to load completely.

how do i get it now that as soon as i call the link with my 2nd selenium instance the webite doesn't wait for it and uses "none". but as soon as i close my 2nd instance again and continue with my first instant the normal time is used again. i have found some approaches here: Don't wait for a page to load using Selenium in Python

approximate example:

Set GC = New Selenium.ChromeDriver
Set GC2 = New Selenium.ChromeDriver

for c = 1 to 100
GC.Get link(c)
          Set Elements = GC.FindElementsByCss("p.TITLE a[href]")
          For Each Element In Elements
             ReDim Preserve links(a) As String
            links(a) = Element.Attribute("href") 'geht auch innerHTML/href usw.
            a = a + 1
             GC2.Get links(a)  ' this here should not wait so long
            redict(a) = GC2.Url
           GC2.Close
        Next Element

Try to work in Headless mode, it might be faster. In this mode the browser doesn't open and everything happens with the "eyes closed", everything is virtual.
