Become Black Ops QA with Selenium 4 BiDi-DevTools APIs
summary
Live demos show Selenium 4 using Chrome DevTools Protocol for geolocation, timezone and language emulation and the new WebDriver BiDi for cross‑browser use, with working examples of setGeolocationOverride and pinScript initialization that injects highlight and notification code, plus traffic capture, network interceptor to mock or block URLs and listeners for JS exceptions and DOM mutations. The approach works but many CDP methods are experimental, require specific browser versions or an augmenter for remote WebDriver and commercial grids need explicit capability flags; code and videos are on GitHub.
