Fresh installation + first example errors out with "Unable to connect to browser" #123

Thanks for this project, great work!

Trying to give it a spin, I made a fresh project, installed the latest version of botasaurus, and copied the very first example into .py file, then ran it with python scraper.py.

The error reads as follows:

botasaurus_driver.exceptions.DriverException: 
                ---------------------
                Failed to connect to browser
                ---------------------
                One of the causes could be when you are running as root.

I can see the chrome icon popping up briefly and then closing.

OS: MacOS

There are no error logs to provide...

Forgot to mention that testing the older "working" version 4.0.14 seems to be able to navigate to the page, but fails to find get_text as a method.

I think I got it, Can we do a Google Meet, I guess I will be able to resolve it easily then.
