[113660] Failed to execute script '__main__' due to unhandled exception!

[sebthom]

Looks like duplicate of your other issue #146

[lamyergeier]

@sebthom Unfortunately not as in #146, chrome actually starts and remains blank (for the whole duration) as shown in the attached image in that issue.

In this case the chrome doesn't even start. Also, the current issue is from Fedora 38, while #146 is from Ubuntu 22.04 and 23.04. Ubuntu uses snap for Chrome and Chromewebdriver, while Fedora uses native rpm package for the browser and the webdriver.
