I tried navigating to the Chrome driver website and saw that the latest release being documented was 2.22, but when I got to the index page, I saw that 2.9 was mentioned down the hierarchy.
Can somebody please help in understanding the above?
Please find chrome driver here
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
The versions on the chromedriver download page are sorted alphabetically, not numerically or chronologically. That means that 2.9 appears at the bottom of the page, which might make it look like the "last" or "most recent" version. The actual most recent version as of this writing is, in fact, 2.22.
Use this Selenium site you have drivers for all browsers even for phone's.. Check it
http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ - You may find there chrome webdriver 2.22Version

As stated, I am trying to use webdriver.Chrome in this sample project I'm doing but I am completely lost on what to do. This is the error I get error. But when I look at the version of chrome I installed, it seemed to match up. Chrome Version. Does anyone know what's happening? Sorry if the post is too unspecific.
You have to update your chrome browser. Try to update the installed chrome version to latest version.
To overcome this problem, use WebDriverManager: refer - https://bonigarcia.dev/webdrivermanager/ and https://github.com/bonigarcia/webdrivermanager.
If you are using Python with selenium, refer to this post for sample code:
Chrome with WebDriver--Why is it disappearing as soon as I hit "run"? Chrome Driver version 106 but Chrome can only be 105.0.9
If you are using Java with selenium, refer to this post for sample code:

Our corporate google chrome has been recently updated to version 91.0.4472.77, for which I am not able to find chrome driver, which in turn causing problems in our existing automation code.
Can anyone please suggest any way to deal with this?
Chromdriver is not available for 91.0.4472.77
till the time it is available (probably within 2 days) you can try out the beta version
ChromeDriver 91.0.4472.19

I believe the default Selenium web browser is Firefox. My professor asked me to operate Selenium with Firefox version 43.0.1. Above it doesn't work, tested! However the issue is, I installed the latest version of Firebug and FirePath to get the XPaths. But it doesn't seem to work. Please help. I have read the earlier posts on a related topic in StackOverflow, still not working.
Firebug is officially discontinued. Though you don't need Firebug or FirePath to use Selenium.
Selenium also works with CSS selectors. Or, if you really need XPaths, you can copy them using the Firefox DevTools' Inspector.
Does anyone know how to detect selenium/webdriver browsing on my site?
I don't want to block them, just detect them.
I saw this question:
Can a website detect when you are using selenium with chromedriver?
But trying all of these on latest version didn't seem to work.
Any body knows anything else?
P.S. please don't leave answers/comments of "dont block"/"you are looking in the wrong place" - I am fully aware of what I'm asking and what will be the business logic to use it.
-- EDIT --
Things I have tested from the link above:
detecting cdc_asdjflasutopfhvcZLmcfl_ key on elements, mostly on window and document but some other elements we have across the entire site.
Searching for window.navigator.webdriver always returns undefined instead of true (tested on both chrome and firefox although only firefox said to support it)
tested the script from this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45814390/1593987
All tests were done using latest selenium, browsers (firefox and chrome), and latest webdriver plugins. for now only on windows, but will probably test ubuntu as well.
In recent versions of Selenium WebDriver it's handled on a spec level.
There is a read-only JS property - navigator.webdriver which is true in case webdriver is used to control browser.
Checked with Chrome v73 - returns true.

When I update my firefox browser to 34th version I found browser is not loading the url, when I automate the script using Selenium-java. when I downgrade to its lower version then it is loading well but I need to execute it in latest version(34th ver) only. Please give me the solution.Thanks in advance.
Update your webdriver. webdriver 2.43.1 fixes the issue with firefox. 2.44 is the latest stable release if I am not mistaking
