This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 99 Current browser version is 98.0.4758.102

My current chrome version : 98.0.4758.102

My current selenium version: 4.1.1 and cannot download chrome 99. My chrome 98 is updated to the last version, how do I get chrome 99 assuming it’s a beta version?

Answer

Starting ChromeDriver 99.0.4844.51

Current browser version is 98.0.4758.102

Your chrome driver is for chrome version, which is not out yet. You have several solutions:

You can download actual ChromeDriver 98.0.4758.102 from here and use it.
You can download Chrome Beta (currently 99.0.4844.51) or Chrome Dev (currently 100.0.4896.12), where you have access to newer versions.

If you are using WebDriverManager from io.github.bonigarcia, you have to set correctly browserVersion and driverVersion:

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().browserVersion("98.0.4758.102").setup();
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().driverVersion("98.0.4758.102").setup();
