I want to know technical difference between WebDriver Wait timeout and implicitlyWait timeout.

If one sets an implicit wait command, then the browser will wait for the same time frame before loading every web element. This causes an unnecessary delay in executing the test script. Explicit wait is more intelligent, but can only be applied for specified elements.
Difference Between WebDriverWait and FluentWaitIn FluentWait you have more options to configure, along with maximum wait time, like polling interval, exceptions to ignore etc. So, instead of waiting and then using findElement : WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 18); wait. until(ExpectedConditions.
1. implicitlyWait() This timeout is used to specify the amount of time the driver should wait while searching for an element if it is not immediately present.
Explicit Wait in Selenium It gives better options than implicit wait as it waits for dynamically loaded Ajax elements. In the below example, we are creating reference wait for “WebDriverWait” class and instantiating using “WebDriver” reference, and we are giving a maximum time frame of 20 seconds.
As said in the documentation:
Implicit Wait sets internally a timeout that will be used for all consecutive WebElement searches. It will try lookup the element again and again for the specified amount of time before throwing an NoSuchElementException if the element could not have been found. It does only this and can't be forced into anything else - it waits for elements to show up.
Explicit Wait, or just Wait is a one-timer used by you for a particular search. It is more extendible in the means that you can set it up to wait for any condition you might like. Usually, you can use some of the prebuilt ExpectedConditions to wait for elements to become clickable, visible, invisible, etc., or just write your own condition that suits your needs.
