When scraping dynamic web pages with Selenium we need to wait for the page to fully load before we retrieve the page source. Using Selenium `WebDriverWait` function we can wait for a specific element to appear on the page which indicates that the web page has fully loaded and then grab the page source:

python```python
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://httpbin.dev/")
_timeout = 10  # ⚠ don't forget to set a reasonable timeout
WebDriverWait(driver, _timeout).until(
    expected_conditions.presence_of_element_located(
        # we can wait by any selector type like element id:
        (By.ID, "operations-tag-Auth")
        # or by class name
        # (By.CLASS_NAME, ".price")
        # or by xpath
        # (By.XPATH, "//h1[@class='price']")
        # or by CSS selector
        # (By.CSS_SELECTOR, "h1.price")
    )
)
print(driver.page_source)
```
