I have a problem with my script. after about 10 times I run the commands below this error comes out:

Timed out receiving message from renderer: 59,996

Answer 1

This error message...

Timed out receiving message from renderer: 59,996

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to communicate with the Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session.

The most probhable reason is you have configured the ChromeDriver too many unnecessary arguments.

Solution

Remove the unnecessary arguments and retest as follows:
