Unlike Selenium, it uses a custom-built kernel rather than WebDriver, claims to handle iframes and shadow DOM more directly, and can operate multiple browser tabs simultaneously without switching context. It includes built-in lxml parsing, automatic retries, download utilities, and configuration via INI files.\n\nThe library targets developers who need browser automation but want faster execution and simpler syntax than traditional Selenium workflows. It ships with nine runtime dependencies: lxml, requests, cssselect, DrissionGet, DrissionRecord, websocket-client, click, tldextract, and psutil. Python 3.6 or later is required.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. DrissionPage is actively maintained, has low install friction, and offers a genuine alternative to Selenium for browser automation with a simpler API and custom kernel. However, the license status is unclear\u2014the description mentions commercial-use restrictions and legal compliance terms, but formal license metadata is missing.
