New Selenium Version - No more manual ChromeDriver downloads

Hey folks!

Just a very quick post here today as some news recently popped across my desk and I thought I'd share it for anyone else out there that's using Selenium for QA or automation.

As of Version 4.6.0, we no longer will have to qualify a path to Chrome Driver, nor will we have to manually check its version and download it.

This is a huge boon to anyone who uses this library, as it means a LOT less constant updating.

Now, as to the how of this; the Selenium team introduced Selenium Manager in this build, which will automatically detect which version of Chrome, Firefox, or Edge you have installed and then will download and correctly place the relevant Driver for your setup.

That's all I have for this today, very quick very exciting update. Read more at the linked Selenium Manager post, or check out their v4.6.0 Release announcement for more info.
