# Beginner install Selenium Python on Ubuntu Debian, Chromium Browser - Part 1a
# https://youtu.be/_qd--H1jBbw
# Chromium is a preferred choice of browser for most Linux distros,
# but if you prefer to install and use Google Chrome then follow Part 1b.
# Google Chrome tends to be a little friendlier with minor aspects of automation that I'll cover later.
# Note that Google Chrome is actually Chromium Browser but with Google's add-on's, snooping and personal stamp on it
