Why can’t Selenium handle different operating systems or browser versions?

Selenium is a tool for automating web browsers. It is designed to support a wide range of browsers and operating systems, but it cannot handle every possible combination of browsers and operating systems. This is because different browsers and operating systems have different ways of rendering web pages and interacting with them, and Selenium has to be able to handle these differences to function correctly.

For example, different browsers have different ways of handling elements like buttons and text boxes and may use different technologies to render web pages. Selenium provides a set of commands and functions that allow you to interact with these elements and perform actions on them, but it may only sometimes work perfectly with every browser and operating system.

In addition, new versions of browsers and operating systems are released regularly, and it can take time for Selenium to adapt to these changes. As a result, it is possible that Selenium may not work perfectly with the latest versions of specific browsers or operating systems.Overall, Selenium is a powerful tool for automating web browsers, but it cannot handle every combination of browsers and operating systems.
