CDP support #7

Open Niek opened 1 year ago

I'm not sure if it's within the scope of this project, but it would be really cool if CDP (Chrome Debugging Protocol) would be supported, in addition to the extension model. That would allow remote or headless browsers to be used as a driver.

Hey @Niek thanks for checking it out! Can I ask what your use-case is?

Last week we were actually experimenting with both Chrome extensions and puppeteer in parallel (see https://github.com/TaxyAI/experiments). 😀

We decided to launch with the Chrome extension first because it's a better UX and onboarding experience for casual use, but we're planning on implementing scheduled/recurring tasks as well so will likely build out CDP/Puppeteer support at some point to support that.

Ah cool, I didn't see the other repo!

The extension model is great for casual tasks, but when operating at scale you can't really work without CDP/remote browsers. Speaking as someone in the browser automation space, natural-language automation is the holy grail everyone's looking for 😄
