Does Selenium initiated WebBrowser consume the same brandwidth like the normal browser?
If I visit 100 website in a normal browser, after that I visit the same websites with selenium web driver, it consumes the same brandwidth?

Did you mean bandwidth? selenium doesn't have its own browser, it uses the same browser you use as a regular user.

Sure. Plus whatever bandwidth is consumed by communicating with the selenium server.
Actually...
Your regular browser might have extensions that add extra bandwidth. So maybe not.

As @Guy mentioned, Selenium doesn't have its own browser and it uses the same browser which you use as a regular user.
Now, there wouldn't be any substancial difference between the two processes of invoking the Browser Client Manually or through Selenium. Albeit Browsing Session initiated by Selenium will contain some additional (command-line) arguments e.g.
--allow-insecure-localhost--disable-background-networking--disable-client-side-phishing-detection--disable-default-apps--disable-extensions--disable-hang-monitor--disable-infobars--disable-popup-blocking--disable-prompt-on-repost--disable-sync--disable-web-resources--enable-automation--enable-logging
Most importantly,
--test-type=webdriver
Now, these information is exchanged between the Server and Client using either Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.0 or Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 and from Automation perspective your work won't be effected.
Conclusion
You can safely ignore the infrastructure (bandwidth) and protocol level functioning of the Browser Client and move ahead.

As @Guy mentioned, Selenium doesn't have its own browser and it uses the same browser which you use as a regular user.
Now, there wouldn't be any substancial difference between the two processes of invoking the Browser Client Manually or through Selenium. Albeit Browsing Session initiated by Selenium will contain some additional (command-line) arguments e.g.
--allow-insecure-localhost--disable-background-networking--disable-client-side-phishing-detection--disable-default-apps--disable-extensions--disable-hang-monitor--disable-infobars--disable-popup-blocking--disable-prompt-on-repost--disable-sync--disable-web-resources--enable-automation--enable-logging
Most importantly,
--test-type=webdriver
Now, these information is exchanged between the Server and Client using either Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.0 or Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 and from Automation perspective your work won't be effected.
Conclusion
You can safely ignore the infrastructure (bandwidth) and protocol level functioning of the Browser Client and move ahead.
