I just started using a Selenium IDE + selenium-side-runner for headless automation. Is puppeteer or Selenium a more widely supported tool?

- EddySchauHai 4y agoSelenium is the most popular tool in the industry but mostly for legacy reasons, its real competitor is Cypress. If you've just started a project I'd recommend checking it out, a huge time saver is that you install it as an npm package with a headless browser out the box without any webdriver/infra stuff slowing you down.
- czbond 4y agoThank you - I'll check it out.
- bckr 4y agoSelenium is more widespread but I recommend Playwright as the most modern automation library. Comes with plugins for making your automations more... nimble.
