Selenium WebDriver is a powerful automation tool for controlling web browsers through code. It allows developers to automate web interactions, such as clicking buttons, filling forms, and navigating between pages, making it ideal for testing web applications and performing repetitive tasks. Selenium WebDriver supports multiple programming languages and browsers, providing flexibility and compatibility across different environments.

Compared to other automation tools like Puppeteer or Playwright, Selenium WebDriver has a longer history and a larger community, offering extensive documentation and support. It is actively maintained and regularly updated to adapt to changes in web technologies, ensuring reliable performance for web automation tasks.
