Browser closed unexpectedly

[akul-goyal]

Hi, I am trying to run the following code:

from requests_html import HTMLSession
session = HTMLSession()
r = session.get('https://python.org/')
r.html.render()

and I get the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have tried running this on multiple servers and am getting the same error.

Same error here.

This project uses pyppeteer which is uses very old version of Chromium. This is easily fixable. You can check my comment on another issue here.
