# Selenium controlled chrome example

This actor serves as an example of how to use selenium with chrome on Apify.

To use selenium with chrome in actor you need a dockerfile which has chrome
and chrome driver with correct versions installed in global path. You can use our
docker file [apify/actor-node-chrome](https://github.com/apifytech/apify-actor-docker/blob/master/node-chrome/Dockerfile) 
and [apify/actor-node-chrome-xvbf](https://github.com/apifytech/apify-actor-docker/blob/master/node-chrome-xvfb/Dockerfile) (for non-headless mode). 
Or can build your own custom file.
