I am still getting the same error in February 2025. If I understand correctly, the solution to #103 was to install webdriver_manager instead of webdrivermanager, but this differs from the README.
For completion's sake, find the error message I get for "pip install webdrivermanager" below (with my local username replaced with "[my username]")
