Add support for automating A.I. browsers (eg. Perplexity's Comet Browser)

---

There are a few AI browsers out now:

• Comet Browser (by Perplexity)
• Atlas Browser (by OpenAI / ChatGPT)

It's time to add support for automating those.

Nearly done with this ticket. Using a special chromium browser can be done by setting the binary_location arg to the path of the chromium executable. (Eg:binary_location="/Applications/Comet.app/Contents/MacOS/Comet" for using Comet Browser on a Mac where Comet is already installed.)

(Note that any special browsers will need to be installed first.)

Here are example scripts that specify Comet Browser on a Mac:

from seleniumbase import SB

with SB(uc=True, test=True, binary_location="/Applications/Comet.app/Contents/MacOS/Comet") as sb:
    url = "https://seleniumbase.io/apps/turnstile"
    sb.activate_cdp_mode(url)
    sb.uc_gui_click_captcha()
    sb.assert_element("img#captcha-success", timeout=3)
    sb.set_messenger_theme(location="top_left")
    sb.post_message("SeleniumBase wasn't detected", duration=3)

from seleniumbase import sb_cdp

url = "https://seleniumbase.io/apps/turnstile"
sb = sb_cdp.Chrome(url, binary_location="/Applications/Comet.app/Contents/MacOS/Comet")
sb.gui_click_captcha()
sb.assert_element("img#captcha-success")
sb.set_messenger_theme(location="top_left")
sb.post_message("SeleniumBase wasn't detected", duration=3)
sb.driver.stop()

(Expect some shortcuts for this soon so that you don't need to find the binary_location in order to use a special browser.)
