What about faking mouse movement from inside the browser? PyAutoGUI is not the right way to be doing this for interacting with JavaScript that has no hope of interrogating user operating system GUI interactions.

PyAutoGUI is the optimal tool for clicking things inside of closed shadow-root elements, which are hidden to JavaScript. Can use CDP for clicking other elements.
