Advantages of using Selenium as an Automation Tool:
Open Source: The biggest advantage of Selenium is that it is an open source tool and can be downloaded for free. It is widely supported by the Selenium community.
Language & Framework Support: Selenium supports all the major programming languages like Java, Python, Ruby, C#.Net, JavaScript, Perl and PHP. It also supports wide range of frameworks like Junit, TestNG, RSpec, PHPUnit and Fitnesse.
Multiple Browsers Support: Selenium supports automation on all the popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE, Edge and Opera.
Multiple OS Support: Selenium can operate and support across multiple Operating Systems (OS) like Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX. Selenium scripts created in one platform like Windows can be executed over any another platform like Linux.
Parallel Test Execution: With the help of Selenium Grid, multiple tests can be executed in parallel across different machines which reduces the overall execution time.
