Saving state before launch of the browser for quick startup is interesting but how do you configure it? I suppose you don't? Or post configure?

The state does not contain the browser config, since it's configured just before it starts running (and we currently snapshot before Chromium starts).

In our case, we prepare the environment, load files that we need later and then we create the state. Once we start, we instantly start Chromium with the config requested by the customer.

More wondering about the future side there.

I have tried it before by saving the entire memory state of the VM actively running but man oh man were there alot of bugs. My idea was different I was playing with spinning browsers on spot nodes and swap them over + state if they were revoked.

You thinking custom Chromium startup sequence for that?
