Instead of writing this:

ch_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
ch_options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\Dossy\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data")

you can directly give the path

ch_options = webdriver.Chrome('**HERE GIVE  YOUR FULL PATH OF chromedriver.exe**')

like:

chrome = webdriver.Chrome('C:\\Users\\Lucky\\Downloads\\.zip\\chromedriver.exe')

Your browser will open and it and will also redirect you to the link.

Making it so simple and short: Make sure to add the chrome driver path correctly

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
import datetime

PATH = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"    # Path where u have downloaded the driver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)

driver.get("https://www.google.com")

This will work hopefully!

Try this with your correct driver path

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
import datetime

chromedriver = 'path of chrome driver till chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
