@fgisslen The error message in the name of this thread is written by me and I know why it handles like that.
1-) Sometimes there are problems while deleting cookies and closing web browser, there are lots of problems in various kinds BUT I decided to catch all of them and only notify in WebDriverExceptions.

_Note that most of time it will successfully delete cookies and close the web browser and SOMEtimes it will make such problems_.

Fine the thing is those exceptions occurred while deleting cookies and closing web are NON serious. [BASICALLY] and should be avoided.
But if you ALWAYS get problems with it then there is a problem.
The reasons I decided to output the WebDriverException messages is, it is an error just worth to see.

Lets's turn to the real problem in the issue ABOVE:

It failed out of timeout to GET the a webpage of https://www.instagram.com/p/BnnSxLZnr2E/?tagged=gothenburg.

How frequently you do get that kind of failures out of timeouts?
