Selenium 3 is Selenium 2 without Selenium 1.
Other
major changes is for the Firefox driver. So far Selenium has been giving
preferred treatment to Firefox, there was no need to use any browser drivers
like for Google Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari (previously). Firefox always
ran right out of the box, not anymore… We now need to use Geckodriver to
run Firefox marionette implementation.
Other
than this there are some major changes that you should be aware of as below:
- You’ll need to be
running Java 8 to use the Java pieces of Selenium. Get it here
- Support for
Firefox is via Mozilla’s geckodriver. Get it here
- Support for
Safari is provided on macOS (Sierra or later) via Apple’s own
safaridriver. Get it here
- Support for Edge
is provided by Microsoft through their webdriver server. Get it here
- Only versions 9
or above of IE are supported. Earlier versions may work, but are no longer
supported as Microsoft no longer supports them. Remember you need to
have these settings for IE.
