Implicit Wait vs Explicit Wait

The difference between implicit wait and explicit wait in Selenium are as follows:

Implicit Wait Explicit Wait
The implicit wait is a global wait that applies to all elements. It is applied to the driver instance. driver.implicitly_wait(15) Explicit wait is local wait and is applied to a specific element based on condition.

WebDriverWait()

The implicit wait is general and offers less control. Explicit wait allows more finer control of the wait.
The implicit wait throws NoSuchElementException if the element is not found after the wait. The explicit wait will proceed with the next code after the wait.
