+Using `wd` and `wd-bridge`
+-------------------------------------
+
+As of version 5.1.0, Protractor uses `webdriver-js-extender` to provide all the
+mobile commands you should need (see the API page for details).  However, if you
+prefer `wd`, you can access it via `wd-bridge`.  First, install both `wd` and
+`wd-bridge` as `devDependencies`:
+
+```shell
+npm install --save-dev wd wd-bridge
+```
+
+Then, in your config file:
+
+```javascript
+  // configuring wd in onPrepare
+  // wdBridge helps to bridge wd driver with other selenium clients
+  // See https://github.com/sebv/wd-bridge/blob/master/README.md
+  onPrepare: function () {
