Adding ability to connect to a remote browser via setting a remote debugger address or via CDP would be a game changer

HI Chetan,

Thanks for building Botasaurus

I have a feature request: Adding the ability to use Botasaurus with remote instances of Chrome via CDP or setting the remote debugger address (something nondriver allows).

I understand if it doesn't make sense to add, as it may not be a priority for your users but I think it would be a game changer and so thought I should note it down here.

In case this is already possible via ChromeOptions but undocumented, please let me know

Hey,

I was able to achieve it this way:

     port =  driver.config.port
     browser = playwright.chromium.connect_over_cdp(f"http://localhost:{port}")

you mean this

from botasaurus.browser import browser, Driver

@browser(port=45454, host="http://127.0.0.1/")
def scrape_heading_task(driver: Driver, data):
    # Visit the Omkar Cloud website
    driver.get("https://google.com/", timeout=100)
    
    # Retrieve the heading element's text
    heading = driver.get_text("h1")

    # Save the data as a JSON file in output/scrape_heading_task.json
    return {
        "heading": heading
    }
     
# Initiate the web scraping task
scrape_heading_task()
