I am trying to run selenium webdriver on my droplet, and after days of unsuccessful attempts, I need some help. Here's what I have done:

Hooked up a display:

from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver
display = Display(visible=0, size=(1024, 768))
display.start()

Here's where it chokes for Chrome:

b = webdriver.Chrome() #doesn't choke yet, but definitely hangs for longer than normal..
b
<selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver.WebDriver (session="7725d000781011a8e713a7fd722361b4")>
b.get('https://www.google.com') #and there it is...

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Runtime.executionContextCreated has invalid 'context': {"auxData":{"frameId":"1342.1","isDefault":true},"id":1,"name":"","origin":"://"}
(Session info: chrome=55.0.2883.87)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.9.248304,platform=Linux 4.4.0-59-generic x86_64)

And here's where it chokes for Firefox:

b = webdriver.Firefox()
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service geckodriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 2

I have tried at least 4 versions of different chrome drivers. I have selenium working on my personal box (I use Chrome) with this similar setup, but I don't use/need the display. I am running the cheap droplet, 512mb, 5$, but I resized it to 4 GB of memory and it still fails, so its not there?

Thank you very much.
