OS: MacOs
Python version. 3.9.2
webdriverdownloader: 1.1.0.3

I receive the following when trying to download the Chrome driver:
SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.googleapis.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /storage/v1/b/chromedriver/o/LATEST_RELEASE (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1123)')))
This does not happen when using Firefox.

Also, doing this on Windows does not invoke error also.
Do you think it's a good idea to not verify the certificates when downloading the drivers?

I opened a PR just in case: #16

You should verify the certificate to ensure it's signed by a trusted certificate authority. This helps prevent MitM attacks.
