Selenium is a powerful tool for automating browser actions, and its Python bindings provide a simple yet effective way to write tests and interact with web pages.
Selenium WebDriver offers various useful methods to control the session, or in other words, the browser. For example, adding a cookie, pressing the back button, navigating between tabs, etc.
In these articles, we will see the get_window_size driver method in Selenium. get_window_size method gets the width and height of the current window.
