[🐛 Bug]: Unable to obtain driver for chrome

[Redas17]

What happened?

Hello, just trying to run this simple code and get bunch of errors. I tried to remove from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By or add "service" thing, same result, I added chromedriver to the system Path, but it didn't resolve the issue, help is appreciated.

How can we reproduce the issue?

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://google.com")

Relevant log output
