Merge Risk: High

This upgrade to selenium-webdriver from 4.10.0 to 4.35.0 is high-risk as it removes several deprecated APIs, which will require code modifications.

Breaking Changes:

  • Removed APIs: Version 4.35.0 removes several previously deprecated methods. According to release notes, this includes AppCacheStatus, NavigateBack/Forward, and older local/session storage APIs. Code using these methods will fail and must be updated to use their modern equivalents (e.g., driver.navigate().back() and driver.navigate().forward()).
  • CDP Deprecation: The Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)-based API is officially deprecated and will be removed in a future major version. The project is standardizing on the cross-browser WebDriver BiDi protocol for advanced features like network interception.

Recommendation:
Review your codebase for any usage of the removed APIs (AppCacheStatus, NavigateBack/Forward, and legacy storage methods) and refactor them to use the current standard WebDriver APIs before merging this upgrade.
