I've read through that (hard to read, because of the bad formatting) but I still don't understand why you would do that instead of Playwright, Puppeteer etc. - The only reason seems to be "This technique certainly has its limits.".

>bad formatting

If you can elaborate, I would very much appreciate it. I'm always interested in doing better.
