Class 5 Lab 3 - Advanced Bot Defense - OpenBullet uses obsolete version of Chromedriver - if Chrome is allowed to auto update

[jamesaffeld]

Chrome auto updated to v126 and naturally Chromedriver 113 was broken.

Running a Browser Action block of "Open" - a frame blinks and closes. OpenBullet log reads:

Opening browser...
System.InvalidOperationException: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 113
Current browser version is 126.0.6478.127 with binary path C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe (SessionNotCreated)

I deployed and ran a new instance of the lab and renamed c:\program files\google\GoogleUpdater to .\DON'T UPDATE GoogleUpdater and now Chrome can't autoupdate and break the lab. OpenBullet can open a Chrome window.

Possibly the right thing is to update to Chrome v126 and fix ChromeDriver and THEN lobotomize GoogleUpdater, but I don't have it in me. I'd rather break broken behavior than temporarily accommodate it. I don't want software to auto update, ever. I don't want software to do anything unless told. By me. Also, get off my lawn.
