" Page Factory pattern has been deprecated in recent versions of Selenium (Selenium 4 onwards). Instead, the Page Object Model (POM) pattern without the Page Factory is recommended.
Below are the Top Reasons:-
1)Performance issue : Especially when dealing with large page objects or complex hierarchies.
2)Simplicity and readability: Using the Page Factory introduced an additional layer of complexity and annotations in the code. Removing the Page Factory simplifies the code and makes it more readable.
3)Maintenance and compatibility: As Selenium evolves, maintaining the Page Factory pattern may become challenging due to compatibility issues with newer versions.
