There’s a lot of debate between the browser vendors and automation tools around whether the Chrome DevTools Protocol is the right abstraction layer to focus browser automation around. It’s a nuanced topic and if you dig into it you’ll see that all the different sides make good arguments. My guess is that this debate stalled your project. I’m putting myself out here on the topic because having a coherent and enjoyable cross-browser integration testing story would be a huge win for the web at large and it’s something worth making people aware of in the hopes that we can find common ground.
Edit: I actually have no right to comment on what stalled your project and have no idea what happened there. I just wanted to discuss the fact that we need a good abstraction layer but seem stuck in debate.

- mintplant 7y agoNo need to apologize, I appreciate your perspective. That was my assumption as well at the time - that the debate had shifted the other way and CDP support fell off of the priority list.
