Do you know that you don't need to have Chrome and Firefox browsers installed on your system to work with Selenium WebDriver?
Selenium will download Chrome For Testing (CFT) & Mozilla Firefox if not installed on machine but used in Selenium scripts.

Hi Amod, Thanks a lot for this series. You are providing so much of insights & great knowledge to us❤
Two doubts,
At 6:19 Why normal chrome browser has to be installed on our machine, to download & work with CFT? This is confusing, as selenium by default downloads & launches CFT, if normal chrome is not present.
To always work with CFT, regardless of whether chrome is installed or not on our system, ChromeOptions has to be used. When it comes to CFT download, Do we need to ensure that downloaded CFT version should match with normal chrome version or it can be any version of our choice where we want to run?
Please reply.

Hi Bharat, pls revisit the part. Normal chrome browser will take the priority if you have same version of normal and CFT are present on your system. I have explained the example to override this behaviour.

@@RetargetCommon Hi Amod, I got it, but in the later part, at 6:19 in video, it was mentioned that, to work with CFT but not with chrome browser, we need to download CFT on our system, but that is applicable, if and only if normal chrome browser is installed on our system.
This was the statement heard at 6:19. that’s why I got confused Amod.
