Could not detect a suitable backend among ['googlechrome-browser', 'chromium-browser']

Despite adding path for chrome canary in #27 the chrome-browser still fails:

N:\git\webruntime>webruntime https://www.abc.net.au/ chrome-browser

I think I've found the source of that error. When the Chrome runtime could not be found, it would still try to use it if it had a cache of it. This is addressed in #29.

This does not solve the original problem. It looks like _get_google_chrome_exe() still returns None for you. I'd recommend running the code of that function directly (e.g. in an interactive session) and seeing where it goes wrong.

It looks like _get_google_chrome_exe() still returns None for you.

To clarify, for some reason it still does not find the executable on your system. But this is not something I can look into, unfortunately.
