Puppeteer is a Node library that provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. It is more user-friendly and provides additional features like taking screenshots, generating PDFs, and more. Puppeteer abstracts away many of the lower-level details of the DevTools Protocol, making it easier to use for common tasks.
Selenium WebDriver is a popular tool for automating web applications for testing purposes. It supports multiple browsers and provides a high-level API for interacting with web pages. While it does not use the DevTools Protocol directly, it offers similar functionalities for browser automation and testing.
