-<p>💡 SeleniumBase is a Python framework for browser automation and testing. SeleniumBase uses <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver2/#endpoints" target="_blank">Selenium/WebDriver</a> APIs, and incorporates test-runners such as <code translate="no">pytest</code>, <code translate="no">pynose</code>, and <code translate="no">behave</code> to provide organized structure, test discovery, test execution, test state (<i>eg. passed, failed, or skipped</i>), and command-line options for changing default settings (<i>such as choosing the browser to use</i>). With raw Selenium, you would need to set up your own options-parser for configuring tests from the command-line.</p>

SeleniumBase uses <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver2/#endpoints" target="_blank">Selenium/WebDriver</a> APIs and incorporates test-runners such as <code translate="no">pytest</code>, <code translate="no">pynose</code>, and <code translate="no">behave</code> to provide organized structure, test discovery, test execution, test state (<i>eg. passed, failed, or skipped</i>), and command-line options for changing default settings (<i>eg. browser selection</i>). With raw Selenium, you would need to set up your own options-parser for configuring tests from the command-line.</p>
 
-<p>💡 With raw Selenium, commands that use selectors need to specify the type of selector (eg. <code translate="no">"css selector", "button#myButton"</code>). With SeleniumBase, there's auto-detection between CSS Selectors and XPath, which means you don't need to specify the type of selector in your commands (<i>but optionally you could</i>).</p>
+<p>💡 SeleniumBase's driver manager gives you more control over automatic driver downloads. (Use <code translate="no">--driver-version=VER</code> with your <code translate="no">pytest</code> run command to specify the version.) By default, SeleniumBase will download a driver version that matches your major browser version if not set.</p>
 
-<p>💡 SeleniumBase methods often perform multiple actions in a single method call. For example, <code translate="no">self.type(selector,text)</code> does the following:<br />1. Waits for the element to be visible.<br />2. Waits for the element to be interactive.<br />3. Clears the text field.<br />4. Types in the new text.<br />5. Presses Enter/Submit if the text ends in <code translate="no">"\n"</code>.<br />With raw Selenium, those actions require multiple method calls.</p>

 <p>💡 SeleniumBase uses default timeout values when not set:<br />
-✅<code translate="no">self.click("button")</code><br />
+✅ <code translate="no">self.click("button")</code><br />
 With raw Selenium, methods would fail instantly (<i>by default</i>) if an element needed more time to load:<br />
-❌<code translate="no">self.driver.find_element(by="css selector", value="button").click()</code><br />
+❌ <code translate="no">self.driver.find_element(by="css selector", value="button").click()</code><br />
 (Reliable code is better than unreliable code.)</p>
 
 <p>💡 SeleniumBase lets you change the explicit timeout values of methods:<br />
-✅<code translate="no">self.click("button",timeout=10)</code><br />
+✅ <code translate="no">self.click("button", timeout=10)</code><br />

+❌ <code translate="no">WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable("css selector", "button")).click()</code><br />
 (Simple code is better than complex code.)</p>
 
 <p>💡 SeleniumBase gives you clean error output when a test fails. With raw Selenium, error messages can get very messy.</p>
 
-<p>💡 SeleniumBase gives you the option to generate a dashboard and reports for tests. It also saves screenshots from failing tests to the <code translate="no">./latest_logs/</code> folder. Raw <a href="https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/" target="_blank">Selenium</a> does not have these options out-of-the-box.</p>

+<h3><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/green_logo.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Changing the default driver version:</h3>
+
+🔵 By default, SeleniumBase will make sure that the major driver version matches the major browser version for Chromium tests. (Eg. If Chrome `117.X` is installed and you have chromedriver `117.X`, then nothing happens, but if you had chromedriver `116.X` instead, then SeleniumBase would download chromedriver `117.X` to match the browser version.)
+
+🎛️ To change this default behavior, you can use:
+
+```bash
+pytest --driver-version=VER
+```
+
+The `VER` in `--driver-version=VER` can be:
+* A major driver version. Eg. `117`. (milestone)
+* An exact driver version. Eg. `117.0.5938.92`.
+* ``"browser"`` (exact match on browser version)
+* ``"keep"`` (keep using the driver you already have)
+* ``"latest"`` / ``"stable"`` (latest stable version)
+* ``"previous"`` / ``"latest-1"`` (latest minus one)
+* ``"beta"`` (latest beta version)
+* ``"dev"`` (latest dev version)
+* ``"canary"`` (latest canary version)
+* ``"mlatest"`` (latest version for the milestone)
+
+Note that different options could lead to the same result. (Eg. If you have the latest version of a browser for a milestone, then ``"browser"`` and ``"mlatest"`` should give you the same driver if the latest driver version for that milestone matches the browser version.)
