I'm trying to run a python script (https://github.com/swiss-chris/quora-expander) on Ubuntu 20.04.3, but the terminal returns an error.
My input:
python3 /home/kitezh/quora-expander/quora-expander.py Dima-Vorobiev
The terminal response:

How do I fix this? Thank you for your time.
UPD:
Did you do as the message says and "see
sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home"? What did that say?
That's where I downloaded ChromeDriver 93.0.4577.63 from in the first place.
Also, what is the output of ls -l /home/kitezh/chromedriver?
Here it is:
total 11908
-rwxrwxrwx 1 kitezh kitezh 12192312 Aug 28 02:00 chromedriver
Does that file exist? Is it executable?
When I input chromedriver, here's the terminal response.
Starting ChromeDriver 93.0.4577.63 (ff5c0da2ec0adeaed5550e6c7e98417dac77d98a-refs/branch-heads/4577@{#1135}) on port 9515
Only local connections are allowed.
Please see https://chromedriver.chromium.org/security-considerations for suggestions on keeping ChromeDriver safe.
ChromeDriver was started successfully.
Does package require chrome to be installed? If so when you type
google-chrome at the command line does it startup without any
permission errors?
Yes, the package requires chrome.
Google Chrome launches, but the terminal outputs the following:

I've run this script, and here are the results.
My input: $ pathlld /usr/bin/chromedriver
