What is the version of your chrome browser?

[yonicd]

i restarted the computer and it sorted out. not sure what happened.

Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Hmmmm I'm not sure either. My first guess was outdated chrome with new driver, but that's not the case. Maybe the default port was in use? Let me know when you reproduce the problem again.
