Selenium Manager is a new tool that helps to get a working environment to run Selenium out of the box.

Available with Selenium v4.6 (and above), it automatically configures the browser drivers for Chrome, Firefox, InternetExplorer, and Edge.

More information about Selenium Manager is available in the following locations:

• Introducing Selenium Manager
• Selenium Manager GitHub Repo
• Selenium Manger in Java

• AddSelenium Java 4.11.0 dependencyin pom.xml

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java--><dependency>    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>    <version>4.11.0</version></dependency>

Here is all what is needed to instantiate the browsers:

• Chrome ------> WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
• Firefox ------> WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
• Edge --------> WebDriver driver = new EdgeDriver();

For demonstration, I used thegetInstance method inSeleniumManager to print the location where the respectivebrowser drivers are downloaded:

On execution, the browser drivers are downloaded in/Users/applemacbook_pro/.cache/selenium folder. These would bere-downloaded in case there is any update in the browser version.
