So you are bitching a chrome browser reconfiged your other chrome browser.....
It is a bit of a nothingburger, but it's important to note that Electron apps normally bundle their own chromium instance within itself and don't use other browsers. I suspect this is done to potentially support working directly with browsers you have installed.
It’s going to take creds out of your browser, spawn a new one not in the browser sandbox and act as the user to complete tasks. What tasks? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
to lazy to read but sounds like its related to its front end testing mcp which you would expect to have access to browser configs when needed especially for playwright
