Determine Type of Selenium Driver in Java

I'm working on building out a testing framework for some sites using selenium webdriver, and my goal is to have a number of drivers running the same tests concurrently (aka a firefoxdriver, an internetexplorerdriver, and a chromedriver all running at the same time with some shared resources). However, I'm having trouble with logging which driver is doing what. I'm passing the drivers through a lot of my code, but as far as I can tell a webdriver has no knowledge of what specific type of driver it is. Is there any way to ask a webdriver element what it was instantiated as?

If using instanceof, be sure to also consider org.openqa.selenium.WrapsDriver so as to handle EventFiringWebDriver.

You can use instanceof like

  if( driver instanceof FirefoxDriver) {
    System.out.println("Firefox it is!!");
  }
  else if( driver instanceof ChromeDriver) {
    System.out.println("Chrome it is!!");
  }
  // and so on

For more details : What is the 'instanceof' operator used for?
