It seems a little heavy (and opinionated) to achieve what Nightmare.js does.

I agree that it's overstepping the boundaries of what a driver should probably do (in this case just parity with Nightmare.js). However I hate having to restrict access to just folks using JavaScript or TypeScript, and the easiest way to get other runtimes onboard is by offering an interface like GraphQL so that anyone can drive the browser.

Does seem like too much for this repo. I might use something like lerna to split up the repositories so it doesn't have multiple objectives.

A simple TypeScript interface shared by implementations would serve the same purpose.

I would delete it. Mostly because I think it detracts from the great (best) chrome automation you have done here :rose:

I'm considering using it to implement a headless Chrome driver for Capybara (ruby/rspec) that doesn't rely on the really sketchy Selenium implementation we have. I'm fine with splitting it though, but just adding this as a datapoint for what I find useful about it.
