When I run ruby watir script for opening chrome browser, it also opens up another chrome tab with address "chrome://settings/help" and sets focus on that. How can I disable such additional tabs getting created?

Update: I updated the chromedriver to 2.33 that the selenium-standalone package uses and the config of the selenium server. The tab is not appearing anymore. You can try to update the chromedriver that your ruby script uses to 2.33.
If you need my Chrome version, it is currently 62.0.3202.89 (64 bit) for Mac OS.
I ran into this issue when I tried to used our selenium automation in nodejs. I tried the new chromedriver 2.33 but the issue persisted. I just downgraded my Chrome to version 59 at the moment until it can be fixed.
This has been fixed using the latest release: ChromeDriver 2.33. You can pick it from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
We hit the same after last update of chrome: 62.0.3202.89
