[🚫 Bug] Downloading chrome driver does currently not work

[rH4rtinger]

Describe the bug

Currently, when running any command that downloads the chrome driver like npx extest get-chromedriver, it will fail, because the given URL returns a 404.

The url https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/122.0.6261.128/win64/chromedriver-win64.zip does currently not exists.

However, if you were looking at https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/chrome-for-testing#json-api-endpoints and searching https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/known-good-versions-with-downloads.json for the driver with the number, you would find a driver and a download link. Maybe you should use this json for checking the drivers, because it has much more information than https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/ . This site only has drivers beginning with version 125.x

Steps to reproduce

1. npx extest get-chromedriver
2. see console output

Logs

> npx extest get-chromedriver
