Here's the branch with that: https://github.com/LucianoGanga/simple-headless-chrome/tree/... And here is the thread I'm gonna use to discuss this: https://github.com/LucianoGanga/simple-headless-chrome/issue... If someone has an idea of what the "ideal implementation" would look like, I'd really appreciate it!
