[🐛 Bug]: Unable to update to 4.11.0 (Python)

[yusancky]

What happened?

My code has worked fine in the last few versions including 4.10.0. But when the bot tried to upgrade the dependency to 4.11.0, the problem appeared: the error said "Unable to locate or obtain driver for chromeUnable to locate or obtain driver for chrome".

How can we reproduce the issue?

def fetch_data(url,need_selenium = False):
    if need_selenium:

That's this bug - GoogleChromeLabs/chrome-for-testing#30

You do not need to specify a driver location or manage drivers yourself with Selenium 4.11. Remove the references to chrome_service in the above code and it will work.
