When executing

python3 twitch_farmer.py

I get

What channel should I follow? :
Using proxy: [****************:*****]

After inputing a channel I get the following exception:

Try to update drivers/chromedriver_linux64 with a new chrome version for your OS.

I used https://tecadmin.net/setup-selenium-chromedriver-on-ubuntu/ up to step 3 and copied / renamed the chromedriver and gave according permissions (chmod 744)

Still

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver_linux64' executable may have wrong permissions. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home

Hmm, it's really weird. I don't really had that problem before and I am not using a linux machine. If you find a fix, post your solution please.
