Support connecting to Playwright CRX extension (like playwright-mcp)

[PaulRBerg]

Problem

The skill only launches fresh browser instances. There's no way to connect to an existing Chrome session with cookies, auth state, or specific extensions already configured.

Proposed Solution

Add support for connecting to existing browsers, like playwright-mcp's extension does.

Option A: CDP Connection

Support connectOverCDP() for Chrome launched with --remote-debugging-port=9222:

const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP('http://localhost:9222');

Option B: Extension Integration

Build/integrate an extension similar to playwright-mcp's that exposes a WebSocket for the skill to connect and allows tab selection.
