Describe the bug

The selenium chrome instance is started, but hanging in a blank window instead of navigating to the url. The same example is working as expected in the older version (pip3 install -U playwright==1.17.2).

I’m not super experienced with neither playwright not selenium, so it might be, I’m using it wrong. But after it’s working with the older version, I judged it to be a regression.

It might be this is related to #12666 and #11692.
