I find the official Chrome DevTools MCP excellent for this. Lighter than Playwright, the loop is shorter, and easy to jam into Electron too.

chrome devtools mcp really clutters your context. Playwright-cli (not mcp) is so much more efficient.

Chrome Devtools MCP now has an (experimental) CLI as well and can produce neat things like Lighthouse Audits.

I've only used it a bit, but it's working well so far.

cool! needs to mature a bit, session sharing is a no-go for me as I need to run requests in parallel and it would interfere with each other.

DevTools MCP is great for live debugging in the moment. ProofShot is more about generating a proof bundle after the fact, something you can review on a PR without having been there when the agent ran. Different use cases I think.
