Selenium 4.19 Released!

We’re very happy to announce the release of Selenium 4.19.0 for Javascript, Ruby, Python, .NET, Java and the Grid! Links to everything can be found on our downloads page.

Highlights

• Chrome DevTools support is now: v121, v122, and v123 (Firefox still uses v85 for all versions)
• Thanks to Selenium Manager’s records usage, we know Selenium has at least 1.8M active users in the last 30 days!
• Java and JavaScript keep adding more WebDriver BiDi features.
• The WebDriver BiDi features in Java have a new home, read it at Puja’s blog post.
