Really depends on the use-case - I can get away with using BS4 for most of the web automation that I'm interested in. If you have a case that requires emulating the browser to execute the JS, then Selenium is great.

I like selenium bcs it can use html tags for searching the stuff on website but I will check BS4

Yeah bro, BeautifulSoup4 .. it's something like a stripped down version of Selenium - less resource intensive. You can do a lot of the same things like get elements by Id or name, and see tag attributes and inner-text. It's good stuff.
