Changes from the original project:

• Requires Python 3.6+
• (new as of May 2022) Requires pyautogui
  • Now the script notifies you when Chomedriver needs to be updated.
• Changed how the backup text file is made. It still updates the file OneTab Backup (latest).txt every time the script runs, but now a new backup file OneTab Backup {date} {number_of_tabs}.txt will also be created every time the script runs. This way, in case the script malfunctions or in case Chrome/OneTab crashes/updates and loses the current tab data, even if the script runs and OneTab Backup (latest).txt loses its data (by replacing its contents with a blank value), you'll have other saved backups to choose from.
  • If you want to change the backup folder, open Chrome_Selenium.py in a text editor or IDE and edit the variable BACKUP_PATH (line 14).
  • Currently the script keeps only the latest 30 backup files (the older ones get replaced by new ones). If you want to change this amount, open utils.py in a text editor or IDE and edit the variable files_to_keep (line 43).
• Changed most of the os.path.join() to Path (after importing Path from pathlib). It's another thing to import, but it provides better readability, and Path objects are usually a better solution.
  • I intend to eventually replace everything I can from os to Path (but I'm not in a hurry).
