Perfectly explained! Just note that if you are receiving errors with Webdriver.Chrome not having an execuatable_path argument, simply omit this argument and run with the options only ( driver = ). New versions of selenium do not support this argument and it is not necessary to be included.

Thank you so much for this video. I wasted 24 hours in futility trying to find a way to get Selenium to work on Colab; TILL i found your video, and bam! It worked. I had errors with the executable path, so i had to remove it completely and passed only the options argument. ❤

Thanks you so much, your tutorial is straightforward. I have a question, now
-I installed chromium-browser using !apt-get install -y chromium-browser.
-Then I run !ls/usr/lib/,
however I could not find chromium-browser in the list of libraries, is it normall, could i find it in other directory ?
