and delete the original "chrome_windows.exe"

If you are working under linux you actually need to rename the chrome driver to chrome_linux, not chrome_windows.exe
Also from what I understand you can keep it in your project folder. Hope it helps

If you're on linux. The path is
~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/webbot/drivers

Copy "chromedriver" file here and rename it to "chrome_linux"
