This class wraps functionality provided by the Selenium peeps. Created this class to do things like provide logging, and handle quirks in browser behavior. For instance it’s not uncommon for a browser+browser-driver+python combination to cause an issue. For instance

• elements need to be scrolled into view to be seen
• Firefox (a browser) requires changing how the object is invoked

In addition to logging, wrapping also provides additional handling. For instance when navigating to a new page we may want to check the new page is loaded, before returning from the method, to avoid subsequent code from operating on a stale page.
