selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot connect to chrome at 127.0.0.1:9222

I have had SB (SeleniumBase) working pretty well with UC mode (without any virtualdisplay/xvfb) and I was getting an error "You are using a Chromium-based browser" when testing with https://pixelscan.net

So I decided to run command sudo snap remove chromium and then I started getting error

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot connect to chrome at 127.0.0.1:9222

Here is my most basic code, it works well with uc=False but it is not what I want.

options = Options()
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
driver = Driver(
    uc=True,
    headless=True,
    cap_string=options.to_capabilities(),
)
driver.uc_open_with_reconnect("https://pixelscan.net/", reconnect_time=10)

Tried commenting our cap_string
Tried sudo snap install chromium
Tried uninstalling and installing undetected_chromedriver again
Tried uninstalling and installing seleniumbase again

I saw an issue on SB issues and also on https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver/issues but those solutions/workarounds did not help.

Or if you need to use the Driver() format, then use https://github.com/mdmintz/sbVirtualDisplay for Xvfb activation:

from sbvirtualdisplay import Display
from seleniumbase import Driver

display = Display(visible=0, size=(1440, 1880))
display.start()

driver = Driver(uc=True, headless=True)
driver.uc_open_with_reconnect("https://pixelscan.net/", reconnect_time=10)
# ...
driver.quit()

display.stop()
