V121 Huge memory leak

[oculunto]

Hello,
Since chrome V121 I'm having a huge memory leak, memory usage keeps increasing after every refresh. I am trying to use another chrome version by using browser = Driver(uc=True,driver_version=120") but it keeps using V121 (I figured it changes only the driver but not the current chrome version). Is there a way to also specify which chrome version to use or does it automatically use the default installed one?

I found a solution:
I installed chrome beta V122 and used binary_location=path to specify the path to the chrome executable.

I also get the "Out of memory" error calling driver.get().

Can you send this chrome beta download link? Only need to change the binary_location=path param of the driver?

Thanks.

It's the same thing seen in ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver#1735

All Chrome v121 users will be hitting it until patched, but this issue is probably more easily seen with automation frameworks because Chrome is starting and quitting a lot more often.

You can get Chrome Beta releases here: https://www.google.com/chrome/beta/

Or if you prefer to keep Chrome v121 for now and you run A LOT of automated scripts, then maybe use a shell command that terminates all Chrome processes after every thousand tests, or something like that.
