Selenium Wire VS Selenium WebDriver

Maybe the next step is combining selenium with network capture ability like in selenium-wire: https://github.com/wkeeling/selenium-wire ?

Ugh, tough one. In that case, there's a module called seleniumwire(exclusive to Python), it might be able to help you out with what you need; check it out.

Firstly, you’ll need to install Selenium Wire to extend Selenium’s Python bindings because using the default Selenium module for implementing proxies that require authentication makes the whole process complicated. You can do it using the pip command:

Before I was using selenium-wire which has a very easy way to get this information:

The problem is Selenium does not support adding headers. A third-party solution like Selenium Wire might solve it. Install it with pip install selenium-wire.

You can do that with selenium-wire: https://github.com/wkeeling/selenium-wire

Selenium is one of the most popular and mature automated testing frameworks for web applications. Unlike Puppeteer, which is limited to Chromium, Selenium supports all major browsers—including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge—making it a reliable choice for Cross-platform browser testing.

GitHub metrics also show Playwright's popularity: it has over 74,000 stars, much larger than Selenium's 32,000. The number of projects depending on Selenium is still large, but Playwright is far away (around 412,000 repositories use Playwright vs. 354,000 for Selenium).

Selenium has come a long way since its inception as a simple automation tool. Today, it is supported by a dynamic community under the stewardship of SeleniumHQ, and it continues to be the go-to framework for automated browser testing. What sets Selenium apart is not just its technical capability but its commitment to an open source ethos, demonstrated clearly through its use of the Apache 2.0 license. This license has allowed Selenium to thrive as it offers developers the freedom to modify and distribute the software in a legally secure manner. Beyond its licensing, Selenium’s funding model is equally impressive. It operates on a dual-support system, balancing community donations with corporate sponsorships. This mixture of grassroots enthusiasm and institutional backing ensures that Selenium remains agile, innovative, and accessible to all. The project not only benefits from direct financial support but also from a wealth of contributions on platforms such as the SeleniumHQ GitHub repository, where developers worldwide collaborate to push the boundaries of automated testing.

Selenium has a pretty good Bazel setup which uses a lot of different functionality:

Enhancing Testing Protocols: If you have a high CFR, you can invest in comprehensive automated testing. Tools like Selenium for web applications or JUnit for Java can help ensure that changes are thoroughly tested before deployment.
