Catching all errors with Exception is enticing, but has several issues.
Properly catching the errors you expect to get:

  1. improves readability and maintainability
  2. improves error diagnostics
  3. avoids unexpected behavior

There are cases where you may be passing one argument to a function that requires two, like filter that will go unnoticed while running or testing, as the error it raises just gets caught by a bare Exception.
I want to avoid situations like this; exceptions should catch only expected behavior.

First, There Another approach to solve this with the general exception, using the following code:
print(f'An exception has occurred: {e.__class__.__name__} : {url}')
will show us the exception type without specifying custom solution for every type

Second, The annoying thing about this, is there are many messages printed after exceptions caught.
see the following as sample:

An exception has occurred: ContentTypeError : https://sonar.omnisint.io/all/www.edge-security.com?page=640

it's the same exception caught but from different threads. it's so annoying.

Third, There are errors that do not require continuing to work such as ServerDisconnectedError or the availability internet connection. All it requires is to show the error and stop the rest of the work.
