If you upgrade to the latest version of seleniumbase, (currently 4.17.2), then that should resolve your issue. The Chromium Team recently changing how drivers are packaged. The new: https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/ (The old: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads).

SeleniumBase very recently made changes to support the newer drivers once the Chromium Team fixed a bug in them. (See https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/issues/1983)

Here's a simple script to verify UC Mode with seleniumbase installed:

from seleniumbase import SB

with SB(uc=True) as sb:
    sb.open("https://nowsecure.nl/#relax")
    sb.sleep(2)
    if not sb.is_text_visible("OH YEAH, you passed!", "h1"):
        sb.get_new_driver(uc=True)
        sb.open("https://nowsecure.nl/#relax")
        sb.sleep(2)
    sb.assert_text("OH YEAH, you passed!", "h1", timeout=4)
    sb.sleep(2)

If Chrome isn't already installed, the newly-released Selenium Manager automatically downloads it (https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/11676) — Michael Mintz, Aug 09 '23 at 12:43

The problem lies in the fact that there was no chrome installed.

apt update && apt install wget
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
