Answer 1

I solved these kinds of problems using the webdrive manager.

You can automatically use the correct chromedriver by using the webdrive-manager. Install the webdrive-manager:

pip install webdriver-manager

Then use the driver in python as follows

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
