The best way to download the correct Chrome Driver is to navigate to the official Chrome for Testing availability page, find the stable Chrome browser version you are using, and download the corresponding ChromeDriver version.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Determine Your Chrome Browser Version: Open Chrome, click the three vertical dots in the upper right corner, go to "Help," and then "About Google Chrome." This will display your current Chrome version number.
-
Navigate to the Chrome for Testing Availability Page: Visit the official page where ChromeDriver versions are available. The reference video mentions being "navigated to this page." While the video screenshot doesn't provide the URL, you can find it by searching "Chrome for Testing availability." This page lists available Chrome and ChromeDriver versions.
-
Select the Correct ChromeDriver Version: On the Chrome for Testing availability page, find the ChromeDriver version that matches your Chrome browser version. The video emphasizes selecting the "stable" version.
-
Download: Download the appropriate ChromeDriver executable for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux).
Keep in mind that you will need to add the location where you save the chrome driver to your PATH environment variable for it to work.
