Even though I have already put geckodriver in there and I restarted my computer, it still prints the same thing.

And an error before that as well! Someone please help a newbie out. Image of the Path variable
You need to mention the path of the gecko driver executable. Below line will get you some idea.
driver=webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="add geckodriver.exe")
Hope this helps. Thanks.

I don't have any idea what to make of this. And I haven't found anyone with the same issue. Anyone know a fix?
You need to chromedriver binary and the path of binary as below:
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver.exe')
Download your chromedriver as per your chrome version from below location :
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

The error does say the webdriver has the wrong permissions. Is the path to ChromeDriver correct? Try to make the path something like:
browser21 = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=C:\Webdrivers\chromedriver.exe)
Or wherever you have chromedriver saved, but make sure the path is directly to the exe.
Try redownloading the newest ChromeDriver available and place it in the folder you want. Don't forget to add it to system PATH and not just user.

Your exception is clear:
WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in
PATH.
You have to specify the path to the geckodriver:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'/patToYour/geckodriver')

Help would be appreciated.
it seems that you need to install chrome and chromedriver.
for debian linux:
apt install chromium
wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.29/chromedriver_linux64.zip
unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip
sudo cp chromedriver /usr/bin/
