+   Puppeteer has moved over to support WebDriver BiDi getting full support in Chromium browsers and Firefox.
+---
+
+The Selenium Project has always been fully supportive of creating a standard to improve the quality
+of the web that we use. We started with the [WebDriver Specification](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver) and over the last couple of years have been working
+with the Safari, Edge, Chrome, and Firefox teams on the [WebDriver-BiDi specification](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver-bidi).
+
+Today, we are celebrating that [Puppeteer](https://pptr.dev) has moved over to using [WebDriver-BiDi](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver-bidi), the new WebDriver Specification
+that allows WebDriver clients to have event driven APIs instead of the synchronise way Selenium has done it before.
+
+This new protocol allows us to be able to do things Selenium always wanted to do but was never surfaced to us in a
+meaningful way. We have documented all the latest additions to Selenium, thanks to WebDriver-BiDi, in our [documentation](https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/bidi/)
+
+You can read about the latest changes on [Mozilla Hacks](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2024/08/puppeteer-support-for-firefox/)
+and on the [Chrome Developer Blog](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/firefox-support-in-puppeteer-with-webdriver-bidi?hl=en).
+
+Congratulations to everyone in making this a reality and supporting a standardised web!
