Hello, when i tried to run the code of lesson 6 i got the following traceback:

I solved the issue though by pip installing chromedriver-autoinstaller which downloads and installs chromedriver that supports the currently installed version of chrome.

and adding the following code to the script:

under the rest of the imports

import chromedriver_autoinstaller chromedriver_autoinstaller.install()
