Specify geckodriver for saving once in file?

[mcp292]

Is there anyway to set the webdriver parameter one time so that all save("chart.png") calls behave like save("chart.png", webdriver="firefox")?

I couldn't find this parameter documented on the site or the repo.

Further, my geckodriver log mentions "Missing chrome" which may be related:

Since Altair 5.2, the functionality of Altair Saver is now available in Altair via the vl-convert package. Most of the functionality has been available since 5.0, and the main addition in 5.2 was PDF export. See the docs on how to save charts for more details

We are going to archive this repo, so I'm closing all the open issues and PRs before doing so. Try out the new options for saving charts mentioned above and if you run into issues, please open an issue directly in the altair or vl-convert repo.
