I recently created a scraping program. Just so not to attract too much attention from possible bot detection software I randomly restart the driver at times. It worked fine for a day and suddenly after a restart of chromedriver it not unexpectedly closes everytime it attempts to scrape information. It seems it is not able to read the html anymore. It is definitely chromedriver because a similar program with edgedriver works fine.

However in chromedriver I'm using an extension that can't be used with edgedriver. 

I expect that after a random intermittent closing chromebrowser was updated and after the restart chromedriver doesn't match with the recent chromebrowser anymore. The last error read: An error occurred: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 119 Current browser version is 132.0.6834.112 with binary path

The browser now runs on stable version .160 and chromedriver on stable version .159. I've tried but I can't undo and prevent any browser updates easily.

Is there a chromedriver version update soon that matches the recent browser update?
