Downwloading older chromium + chromedriver

From https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium

• Look in https://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Stable%20updates for the last time “44.” was mentioned.
• Loop up that version history (“44.0.2403.157”) in the Position Lookup
• In this case it returns a base position of “330231”. This is the commit of where the 44 release was branched, back in May 2015.*
• Open the continuous builds archive
• Click through on your platform (Linux/Mac/Win)
• Paste “330231” into the filter field at the top and wait for all the results to XHR in.
• Eventually I get a perfect hit: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Mac/330231/
• Sometimes you may have to decrement the commit number until you find one.
• Download and run!
