Selenium - Browser Automation for Python

It allows developers to programmatically control browser actions such as clicking buttons, filling forms, navigating pages, and extracting data. Selenium is mainly used for web testing, web scraping, and automating repetitive web tasks. It supports multiple browsers and is highly reliable for simulating real user interactions, making it essential for QA engineers, data analysts, and automation enthusiasts.
