Selenium: State of the Union
summary
Selenium 4 ships concrete features: relative locators for human-style element lookup, event listeners for console and DOM events, and network stubbing (demo returns a kitten image) plus built-in HTTP auth support. Most of this hooks the Chrome DevTools Protocol now while a W3C extension aims to make events cross‑browser. Grid is being rewritten for Docker/Kubernetes/cloud scale, governance gains PLC/TLC/triage/committers, and alphas plus nightly Docker images are available for testing.
