selenium: [🐛 Bug]: Browser-wide DevTools client failed to connect: disconnected: unable to connect to renderer

What happened?

I have a script that runs Selenium to open a ChromeDriver in headless mode and perform some operations.

I am using

chromium --version
Chromium 111.0.5563.64 snap

And I have a row in the code that sets Chromedriver version to the same one: WebDriverManager.chromedriver().driverVersion("111.0.5563.64").setup();

I also have this settings as arguments: options.addArguments("--headless", "--lang=it", /* "--no-sandbox", */ /*"--disable-dev-shm-usage", */"start-maximized", "--disable-gpu", "--window-size=1920,1200", "--ignore-certificate-errors", "--disable-extensions", "disable-infobars", "--remote-allow-origins=*");

Also, I am using the latest 4.8.1 Selenium Version through Maven.

When I run my script, I get this error: [1679566402.801][WARNING]: Browser-wide DevTools client failed to connect: disconnected: unable to connect to renderer

How can we reproduce the issue?

- Install Chromium 111.0.5563.64 snap
- Use WebDriverManager.chromedriver().driverVersion("111.0.5563.64").setup();

I fixed installing Chrome instead of Chromium. Thanks
