Difference between driver.get() and driver.navigate()

driver.get("")

• Will wait till the page loads completely with all controls in place.

• Used to get page source.

             driver.getPageSource(); 
       //returns the page source of current url that driver holds

driver.navigate().to("")

• Can navigate the page forward/backward

        driver.navigate().forward();
       driver.navigate().back();

• Used to refresh history.

        driver.navigate().refresh();

• To redirect a page

• will not wait till page loads

 In general, both get and navigate do the same task when invoking the url.(just small change in the services they both offers).
