    You can use selenium or autoit but there is no way for vba to interact with Google chromes html without extra help from another program, although you can use the shell command to open chrome. In short IE is made by Microsoft and so is excel and they can interact but Google chrome is independent of Microsoft and not as compatible. What's wrong with using IE for the instance mentioned above?

    Following along with kingnismo's great guidance, see the attached article on how to use the shell command in Excel VBA. It is not showing you how to open Chrome - you will need to add your own target in the code in order to do so.

    Just to be a little more helpful, I have also included a good reference on how to work with the command shell and all the various options/parameters that are available as well as the correct syntax.
