Fix MaxRetryError

in Selenium

Solution

MaxRetryError in Selenium usually indicates the driver failed to download or connect due to network issues, such as proxy problems or a blocked connection. Verify your internet connection is stable and that no firewall or proxy settings are interfering with the driver's download or execution. Configure Selenium with the correct proxy settings or temporarily disable firewalls to allow the driver to connect and download successfully.
