We'd like to extend the inspector protocol with capabilities to * discover all existing targets and connect to them when the application is launched with a flag * create/delete ephemeral browsing contexts * create new pages in specified context This would allow us to build rich automation tooling similar to what is available for Chrome and partially Firefox (see https://pptr.dev/).

Comment on attachment 382978 [details] initial implementation Clearing r? because this patch is a year old, and now conflicts with an existing Browser.json added since then. Please rebase and send again if interested in continuing this work.
