Description
To be able to pause Selenium or any other application that uses webdriver, we need to add this feature to webdriver.
It's interesting to be able to pause the execution in a concrete moment, read something in the DOM or perform other tasks and be able to resume it again afterwards.
You can see more use cases in the original issue from Selenium: SeleniumHQ/selenium#5269
