Thoughts on Go headless browser tools for testing and scraping?
It looks like https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp is the most popular option. There's also https://github.com/playwright-community/playwright-go. Any thoughts or advice about using these tools?

The following is sample code to achieve this. (Most of the code below is based on the sample in the README of Playwright for Go.)

HLive Update: Added Testing, Plugins, PubSub, and more. See comments for details
Seems that https://github.com/mxschmitt/playwright-go is sort of doing a similar thing in terms of controlling the frontend ?

Browser Automation
For python I used mechanize and later iteration, for go playwright is similar using a real headless browser which works very well.

Does Golang have stable support for Selenium WebDriver?
Similar story for Playwright. It supports more browsers than Puppeteer, and there are bindings for Golang, but it still isn't Selenium.

Need help authenticating to Okta programatically.
I have tried the following. 1. Login to Okta via browser programatically using go-rod. Which I managed to do so successfully, but I'm failing to load up Slack as it's stuck in the browser loader screen for Slack. 2. I tried to authenticate via Okta RESTful API. So far, I have managed to authenticate using {{domain}}/api/v1/authn, and then subsequently using MFA via the verify endpoint {{domain}}/api/v1/authn/factors/{{factorID}}/verify which returns me a sessionToken. From here, I can successfully create a sessionCookie which have proven quite useless to me. Perhaps I am doing it wrongly.

I’m messed up with Go libraries
I usually find libraries by googling them or searching awesome go on GitHub, for selenium/puppeteer I've always found go-rod useful and easy in every way, Sometimes I also Google "X in Nodejs for Golang"

Go for web scraping
I recently tried out https://github.com/go-rod/rod. I think it's based on chromedp (so, Chrome dev tools and headless browser) but it also has code to download and run a supported version of Chrome that doesn't interfere with your local browser.

VHS: CLI Home Video Recorder
One of the dependencies is `rod`[0], which is a web scraping/automation library, and I believe requires a browser to work. I don't know what they're using it for though as I haven't looked at the code (and I'm not familiar with Go anyways).
