For users of Selenium 1, this is a drop-in replacement. You’ll find support for modern browsers such as Firefox 5 [...]

The ChromeDriver is composed of two major pieces. There are the client APIs, which you use in your tests, and there’s a server part, which the client APIs know how to start and run and which takes the form of an executable called “chromedriver”.
