I want to use Selenium on the "headless mode" to control the MS Edge browser.
However, I get an error and cannot move forward.
Please let me know the cause of this error and how to deal with it.
# Information about the environment

#supplementary information The other day, you showed me how to use Selenium Edge on MacOS, but when I tried to use the headless mode, I got the error again. Edge browser driver does not launch in "Selenium"
