same issue here

I was able to resolve this by removing service = service. It appears the new update has removed the need for service.

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

Though I'm using chrome. I've seen it mentioned on other issues.

Same here. Following @jfitzpatrick6 solution worked!

[jacsonrsasse]

Yep, same here. @jfitzpatrick6 solution worked for me too!
