ValueError: Browser not found: /usr/bin/google-chrome

[WittmannF]

To my understanding, it doesn't require a chrome web-browser. Or am I missing something? Here's the error I got:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Running the following test on MacOS:

import asyncio
from pydoll.browser.chrome import Chrome
from pydoll.constants import By

async def main():
    # Start the browser with no additional webdriver configuration!
    async with Chrome() as browser:
        await browser.start()
        page = await browser.get_page()
        
        # Navigate through captcha-protected sites without worry
        await page.go_to('https://www.example.com')
        await page.get_screenshot('./ss.png')
        

asyncio.run(main())

It looks like the defaults just have Linux in mind, but you can override the executable location:

async def main():
    # Start the browser with no additional webdriver configuration!
    options = Options()
    options.binary_location = "/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"
    async with Chrome(options=options) as browser:
        ...

we have an open PR from @CaioWzy to fix this problem also, thanks for opening the issue :)

@WittmannF Can you check if it's working now?
