Selenium can be very difficult to install when it comes to specific browser libraries.. Playwright, just as one example, is very easy to install.

Isn't it just pip install selenium then download the correct driver version for your browser (place it in a path or supply path when initializing client)?

I use Selenium every few months so I have to update the drivers but otherwise it is pretty painless.

Selenium is much slower than BS4 which is much preferred for static sites.
