That's cool but Chrome is the only browser I have had these issues with. We have a cron process that uses selenium, initially with Chrome, and every time there was a chrome browser update we had to update the web driver. I switched it to Firefox and haven't had to update the web driver since.
I like the async portion of this but this seems like MechanicalSoup?
*EDIT* MechanicalSoup doesn't necessarily have async, AFAIK.
I don't think it's similar. The library has many other features that Selenium doesn't have. It has few dependencies, which makes installation faster, allows scraping multiple tabs simultaneously because it’s async, and has a much simpler syntax and element searching, without all the verbosity of Selenium. Even for cases that don’t involve captchas, I still believe it’s definitely worth using.
