I had built a web-scraper with an old version of chrome and it was working well and then chrome autoupdated itself with version 69.0.3497.81 and now any website doesn't seem to recognise the web browser while scraping. Is there a version if ChromeDriver that works well? I also tried downgrading chrome to previous versions, but doesn't seem to work anymore

(Note:- I tried ChromeDriver 2.41 and it doesn't work right.)

Thanks in advance

  • Perhaps you changed Chrome path while upgrading it? – Federico Rubbi Sep 09 '18 at 06:28
  • Are you using serverless-chrome (https://github.com/adieuadieu/serverless-chrome/releases)? That's what arrived me here, because its latest release (3 days before this question posted) does not have any versions that Google still publishes a compatible (https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads/version-selection) ChromeDriver with (https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html). – cellepo Feb 18 '19 at 16:34

To keep the ChromeDriver Version that works in sync with the respective Chrome Browser Version you can adopt the following strategy:

As per best practices:

  • Keep your Test Environment always updated with the latest ChromeDriver.
  • Always keep the Chrome Browser updated to the latest GA release.

Note : Each version of ChromeDriver is released considering the support of the:

  • Latest Released GA version of Chrome Browser
  • Previous version of Chrome Browser
  • Next version of Chrome Browser

Here you can find a detailed discussion on How to work with a specific version of ChromeDriver while Chrome Browser gets updated automatically through Python selenium

Simply add you google account in the emulator and update google chrome from playstore to work it for latest chrome driver.
