I am trying to do scraping using Selenium. I have downloaded ChromeDriver 83.0.4103.39 and I have the latest Chrome Browser (chrome=83.0.4103.106).
When I do :
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/path/to/chromedriver.exe", options = options)
with the following options :
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('start-maximized')
options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
prefs = {"profile.managed_default_content_settings.images": 2}
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
I get the following Exception:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SessionNotCreatedException Traceback (most recent call last)

My OS is windows 10. I am using Python 3.7.6 and Anaconda as environment manager.
Thank you in advance for your help.
