Browser install tool

[WeihanLi]

Description

puppeteer provides @puppeteer/browsers to help install browsers, could we support similar functions with a dotnet tool, thoughts?

# Download the latest available Chrome for Testing binary corresponding to the Stable channel.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome@stable

# Download a specific Chrome for Testing version.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install [email protected]

# Download the latest Chrome for Testing version for the given milestone.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome@117

# Download the latest available ChromeDriver version corresponding to the Canary channel.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install chromedriver@canary

# Download a specific ChromeDriver version.
npx @puppeteer/browsers install [email protected]

That sounds like a good idea!

We have built a package which downloads chrome for testing during build/publish and it doesn't require any system package installation, even on linux. Also it works in readonly file system, like aws lambda.

Hope it helps.
