   > > @kgabryje do you think there's merit in first raising this problem as a [Selenium GitHub issue](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues)? Their community may be aware of a workaround and/or could potentially gauge the scale/complexity of the problem. Again the more relevant data we have the easier to weigh up the various pros and cons of the proposal.

   > Our version of Selenium (3.141.0) is from 2018 (the Chromium driver was equally ancient) and probably the first thing the community would say is to upgrade to the latest version and see if it solves the problem. I do not know how much effort this upgrade would require, but I think it might be a good time to introduce a newer tool that covers our use cases, while offering a better developer experience (easier to write and read) than Selenium.

   @john-bodley I also spent a little time looking into the selenium github issues for previous questions on the topic. When most people were looking for full-page screenshots, they would direct them to use the Chrome driver and when they needed  webgl support, they would direct them to use the Firefox driver. I couldn't find any use cases for either issue where it could be solved by either driver.
