Description

I was thinking about this before, widgetastic is currently very pedantic with page checking so it is relatively slow. There is a possibility to keep these check obligatory only after events like clicking and the rest would be invoked only if the selenium step triggers an error - like element lookup or such - and after the check the step would be repeated once more. The modes would be switchable.

This should only probably concern changes inside Browser class.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Browser class and how page checking is currently triggered around Selenium steps. Clarify the intended pedantic and lax behavior, including when checks run and whether a failed step is retried. Done would require an agreed, switchable implementation limited to the Browser class.
