Hi,
Selenium is indeed popular for scraping dynamic content. However, this coruse focuses more on the basics of scraping by traversing the plain HTML code with BeautifulSoup.
In addition, at the end we introduce requests-html which can serve a similar purpose as Selenium, allowing us to scrape dynamic content by running the JavaScript.
