At its core, a CAPTCHA solver reads a challenge and returns the solution a site is looking for, so an automated script can keep going. The difference with CapSkip is that the work stays locally - no challenge data leaves your hardware, and you avoid per-CAPTCHA fees. That combination of control and predictable cost is a real advantage for steady automation.

Selenium remains a staple for browser automation, and CapSkip fits into it cleanly. Your the WebDriver logic unchanged and delegate the challenge to CapSkip when one appears, so the session keeps going without manual steps.
