chrome.exe and chromedriver.exe Seem to have side - by - side issues

[fixerfpv]

I'm no tech guy but after about 2 hours with GPT I ended up ditching the custom chrome.exe suggested as well as the chromedriver. and ended up adjusting the original script.py to work with your standard chrome you already have installed in your pc and the script downloads it's matching chromedriver.

Sorry for probably not doing this properly, this is my first time.
Also, now 2/9/25 it cut me off with the rate limit so the script promptly asks for either quitting or setting a wait time, I set mine to 0.01 hour and it's seems to be working. Nice !
