This change introduces a new CLI option --extraChromeArgs to Browsertrix Crawler, allowing users to pass arbitrary Chrome flags without modifying the codebase. This approach is future-proof: any Chrome flag can be provided at runtime, avoiding the need for hard-coded allowlists. Maintains backward compatibility: if no extraChromeArgs are passed, behavior remains unchanged. --------- Co-authored-by: Ilya Kreymer <ikreymer@users.noreply.github.com> |
