BrowserContext
BrowserContexts provide a way to operate multiple independent sessions, with separate pages, cache, and cookies. A default BrowserContext is created when a browser is launched.
The browser module API is used to create a new BrowserContext.
If a page opens another page, e.g. with a window.open call, the popup will belong to the parent page’s BrowserContext.
