Answer 1

This appears to be related to selenium-webdriver, not capybara itself.
There's an issue about this at https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/7365
To fix, specify in your gemfile that you want 3.142.4 as a minimum: gem 'selenium-webdriver', '~> 3.142.4'
And then run bundle update selenium-webdriver
That should get this specific issue resolved.
