Selecting default search engine is needed for Chrome version 127

[adron-s]

Hi!
The actual problem is described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78787332/selecting-default-search-engine-is-needed-for-chrome-version-127

So you need to make this small fix to work with the new chrome 127.

Thanks.

Although I haven't been able to reproduce this, I can add that option in. It's probably related to localization / geolocation.

If user_data_dir does not exist, then the search engine selection window appears the second time you launch Chrome through SeleniumBase. It is with the second that the first launch goes without problems. And the Chrome version should be 127.XX. In my case, this is google-chrome-stable 127.0.6533.72-1 running in docker under Debian 12.

I can add that option in.

Yes, that would be great. Thank you!
