Selenium webdriver not opening websites in default

Question

I have tried selenium webdriver in Python and it works fine. But when I try to open default chrome profile it doesn't open the websites.

The code is

chromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chromeOptions.add_argument("user-data-
dir=/Users/prajwal/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome")
capability = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
capability["pageLoadStrategy"] = "normal"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capability, 
chrome_options=chromeOptions)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")

The window opens in this case. But it doesnt open the website. However, it works fine if I remove

chromeOptions.add_argument("user-data-
dir=/Users/prajwal/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome")

Where am I going wrong ?
