[🐛 Bug]: Caused by NewConnectionError

[impactro]

What happened?

In the most recent version, when a NewConnectionError occurs, the exception crashes the entire Python program and closes it.
see the stack received.

How can we reproduce the issue?

This is the relevant code I am using

options = webdriver.EdgeOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless=new")
options.add_argument("--window-position=-2400,-2400")
driver = webdriver.Edge(options)
driver.set_window_size(areaWidth+fixWith, areaHeight+fixHeight)
driver.get(browseURL)

Relevant log output

The errors you posted shows this happens during a screenshot, but your repro code never attempts a screenshot.

Can you please provide a proper example to reproduce it?

Did we solve this issue?

No... it's really unclear what is happening and why. The original issue description doesn't even match the error shown.

This issue is caused by a Google driver update starting from version 133.0.6943.35. A workaround I found is to downgrade the driver to a lower version. If your Chrome browser version is 133, use driver 132.0.6834.159. If you’ve updated your Chrome browser to 134, the issue is less frequent with Chrome driver 134.0.6998.88, though I still experience it occasionally.
