Answer 1

You have not given chrome driver path when calling method webdriver.Chrome() May be you have set environment path to chromedriver I tried your code in windows machine and it worked for me by setting the driver path .

Try to manually set the path as shown below and check if issue persist. It may environment issue

driver_path = 'chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path)

Please also check link for ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED, it is possible that chrome is not able to connect to internet, are you able to access website on chrome browser or do you need to set proxy access internet??
