Hi,

Looks like link got expired now. I am not able to access the webpage. Previously I had used same link to download and install the chromedriver, but now its not working.

This was the only way I found, to install the chromedriver very easily. Do we have any other option ?

This is misleading, you only need to execute:

sudo dnf install chromedriver

why have to jump through the hoops and put untracked binaries into the system?

Gonna go out on a limb here and guess it was because the package wasn't in the fedora repo 11 years ago when the bug was submitted?
