Chrome version issues

Many users have an issue with their chromedriver because the latest chrome browser version doesn't have a compatible chrome driver yet.

To downgrade your Chrome web browser using slimjet, follow these steps. First, visit the website and scroll down to find the list of available older Chrome versions. Choose the version you wish to install making sure it's compatible with your operating system. Once you've selected the desired version, click on the corresponding link to download the installer. Before proceeding with the installation, it's crucial to uninstall your current version of Chrome to avoid conflicts.

It's important to check if the version you downgrade to, has a chromedriver available in the official chrome driver website
