Support crawl/automation use case

[Thawab8]

Hello,
Any plans to support any of these ? puppeteer/playwright/crawlee please look into this use-case.

Assuming that it gains some adoption, I'd like to adopt the new Webdriver Bidi protocol (https://hacks.mozilla.org/2024/08/puppeteer-support-for-firefox/), which I believe would give us puppeteer support.

I've been looking into supporting the Chrome Devtools Protocol. Which should allow Blitz to be controlled with puppeteer, and I believe would also us to use the Chrome devtools UI for inspecting Blitz.

Some resources:

• Getting started guide: https://github.com/aslushnikov/getting-started-with-cdp/blob/master/README.md
• Official reference docs: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/
• Further resources: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/awesome-chrome-devtools#chrome-devtools-protocol
• Puppteer's connection class (https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/packages/puppeteer-core/src/cdp/Connection.ts)

There are also a number of Rust crates implementing CDP (including some which auto-generate the types). They are generally targeted at clients, but the protocol definition is of course the same for client and server so we could probably use one of them:
