What is Selenium (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Selenium/105579449475923)?

Selenium is a webdriver: it takes control of your browser, which then does all the work. Hence what the website “sees” is Chrome or Firefox or IE; it does not see Python or Selenium. That makes it a lot harder for the website to tell your bot from a human being.
