Error in `with_random_port()` when using read_html_live()
It seems that issue I'm encountering was addressed in earlier release but I'm still getting an error when I try to start a chromote session. My chrome version is Version 138.0.7204.101 (Official Build) (64-bit) I'm also noticing that I get a large number of Google Chrome instances as shown in the snippet below (there are at least 10 to 20 more instances of Chrome).

library(chromote)
read_html_live("www.google.com")

Error in `with_random_port()`:
! Cannot find an available port. Please try again.
Caused by error in `startup()`:
! Failed to start chrome. Chrome is available on your system, so this error may be a configuration issue. Try `chromote_info()` to check and verify your settings. No error messages were logged.
Run `rlang::last_trace()` to see where the error occurred.
