It sounds crazy but combining two (e.g. cypress and selenium) can work fine especially with changed $browser config. So when I had this issue, I just did that for now, it's never needed more than 2 and been the simplest solution. Cypress I think doesn't allow multi-tabs etc (or at least at the release version in 2020 when I switched to it, didn't, and I still mentally model it that way), so I go back to selenium for this kind of thing. It's not ideal to use selenium these days, but it works ok.
