Can't use bot properly

[malijani]

first of all thank you kia. :heart: there's something wrong i think! please add "install chromium and use chromedriver and change my absolute path in script for your chromedriver path!" into README.md when i run script with python2 :

Traceback (most recent call last):

i fixed last issue with commenting "driver.maximize_window()". now i have a problem with the new version of IG Web! there's a window after the auth page! it's about notification :

and the error that shows when this window pops up :

You can reduce the number of random numbers for posts. Also increase the time remaining for the likes of one second and re-test.
