How to run chromedriver ENTIRELY with SSL verification disabled?

[andburch]

My job is behind a crazy firewall, and the only way to get any applications to run is by entirely turning off SSL verification. (The firewall system handles all this for us, I guess).

HOWEVER, before I can even l visit a website, the undetected-chromedriver makes HTTP requests during initialization and I can't change their settings, as seen in fetch_release_number() via the urlopen() call. Is there any way to force those urlopen() calls to ALSO ignore SSL verification? Like, is there a way to set a global "don't SSL verify" option?

The info I found for this particular scenario is to import SSL, and use the following line of code before instantiating your driver:
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

I have used it successfully in projects.
From what I read about it afterward, it is only to be used with great caution because it really will get rid of the need for any SSL verification whatsoever.
