Hi @vasantverma ,

This repo contains issues for Selenium documentation only. From the above i can suggest couple of things

1. Taking time, I've executed the sample as described in here, and it works well for me. You may need to cross check the chrome version and chromedriver version again (from the above as you mentioned you're using chrome 84 it should run without any issues)

2. If you're still facing the issue, then you may need to consider raising it in chromedriver issues section.

3. But, if you still think this is an Selenium issue(Which actually is not), consider raising the issue in here

In case if you've any Selenium related questions/need any, you can join our Slack Channel here for more discussion

Thanks,
Harsha.

Closing this, as it is not a documentation issue!
