Great for simple things, but git worktrees don't work when you have to fork processes like postgres/complex apps.

For postgres there are pg containers, we use them in pytest fixtures for 1000's of unit-tests running concurrently. I imagine you could run them for integration test purposes too. What kind of testing would you run with these that can't be run with pg containers or not covered by conventional testing?

I'll say this is still quite useful win for browser control usecases and also for debugging their crashes.
