By some project reasons I have to use Selenium 4 (4.0.0-rc3) and Chrome version 71. Of course the current chromedriver (version 94) doesn't work with old chrome.

I have downloaded the source code of chromium project for debugging and try to understand how actually driver works with selenium. Probably I will try to make my own driver version but at this moment it seems like an inefficient solution.

I am really stuck with this and will be happy to get any advice. Is it possible just to configure driver by capabilities (or any parameters) for working with old chrome?

The Chrome version you're targeting Chrome 71 is already deprecated. Using Selenium 4 with this much obsolete version of Chrome will not work and I think apart from creating your own code piece, there is nothing much you can do.

Using such an obsolete piece of software, in this age of internet, will open a pot of bugs for you, and if you use this to connect to internet, then chances are people may exploit any hidden security vulnerabilities to attack your application.

I would strongly suggest you to talk within your project team to use an updated version of Chrome.

ChromeDriver 2.46 will work with Chrome 71.
