Description

One common thing we do is to point certain parts of WP.com to our developer sandbox. It would be very handy to compare if we could simultaneously run a browser instance resolving to the developer sandbox and the other one resolving to the production.

The challenge here is that there doesn't seem to be a reliable way across all the browsers for this: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/2767.

One way guaranteed to work is to run through a docker container, but I'd try not to go that heavy-weighted route unless absolutely necessary.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the existing browser setup and the cross-browser limitation discussed in Playwright issue 2767; done means supporting simultaneous sandbox and production host resolution without Docker unless no lighter approach works.
