Stateful Crawl with CookieStore Sharing for Parallel Browsers

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Hi,

I have a question regarding stateful crawls with multiple browsers (num_browsers > 1) in OpenWPM. I'm interested in achieving the ability to share a profile, settings, or CookieStore among these parallel browsers. The goal is to ensure that when a website (e.g., foo.com) sets a cookie, it is propagated across all concurrently running browsers.

I'm unsure if this functionality is already supported in OpenWPM, and if not, I would appreciate guidance on how to implement it. Additionally, I'm open to any advice on optimizing the speed of stateful analysis beyond the use of multiple parallel browsers and website segmentation.

Thanks for your assistance!
