Description
MicrosoftWebDriver.exe can be used to test both the Edge browser as well as any apps that are either a Windows Web App (WWA) or contain a WebView. It seems odd then that a developer would specify a browser name when they're testing their WWA or the WebView within their UWP.
I imagine similar issues arise for ChromeDriver targeting Android WebViews and the like. What are peoples thoughts on this?
