I would like to briefly talk about the current thinking around exposing a standard set of privileged APIs in web content to aid in automation. Whether this is a WebDriver-esque API or something else based around CDP is subordinate. It would also be great if we could avoid hacky workarounds such as the proposal in [1]. If this means we need to define a disabled-by-default WebIDL interface for automation, so be it. I have talked to Blink developers about this in the past and there seemed to be shared interest in have something available to testharness.js tests that would allow for automation of currently “unautomatable” web features guarded behind permissions or limited by lack of UA instrumentation. The reason I want to briefly cover this is that it will have direct impact on the agenda for the Browser Tools- and Testing WG that is rechartering and meets the following day.
