I’ve used Selenium for years but it looks like they’ve changed how you use it and I’m getting nothing but errors. Here’s what I have tried:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Edge('Downloads/msedgedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.google.com')

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

     37         try:
---> 38             path = SeleniumManager().driver_location(options) if path is None else path
     39         except Exception as err:

     70 
---> 71         browser = options.capabilities["browserName"]
     72 

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'capabilities'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I’ve tried different tips but want to avoid downloading itself as this is for work and any sort of download requires IT intervention, which is always a roadblock. Any help would be appreciated.
