It is visually appealing but sluggish and sucks at non-standard authentication to the point of not being usable.
Also no out of the box way to run more than one instance with incognito tabs to have communication to test multi-user bugs.
Perhaps radical, but I think it should support hooks with Playwright/Puppeteer that you can hand control back and forth to as a safety valve just like being able to shell out to the command line when your favorite programming language doesn't have a library for what you need.
The difference here is that the browser context needs to be passed - that means some janky handoff (which with crypto will be a PITA) or using the Playwright/Puppeter connector under the hood.
