Hello, and thank you for your contribution, @candidosales!
After discussing this with the rest of the team, we are not planning to merge this PR right now. For the upcoming major release (v4), we are preparing changes to the Playwright/Puppeteer integrations that should allow us to connect to remote browser instances via CDP and the Playwright internal protocol (see here)
Once these changes are merged, integrating Lightpanda with Crawlee should be much easier and should not require most of the changes proposed in this PR.
Thank you for your understanding.
