Hi  
I was using chrome browser Version 117.0.5938.150 and Selenium Version: 4.12.0. but the “Open Browser” keyword has failed with the error,

`NoSuchDriverException: Message: Unable to obtain driver for chrome using Selenium Manager.`

and is failing to launch the browser instance. This was working a couple of days ago. any help/workaround here would be greatly appreciated as i am unable to find a driver executable for chrome version 117

Selenium is trying to download the `chromedriver` for that version and it failed.  
You need to do that management on your own. Just go to [chrome-for-testing site](https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/) and download the correct version and O.S package, and extract to a directory listed in $PATH/%PATH% or /etc/paths (Linux, Windows and macOS).
