We actually built a full-blown time travel debugger for Javascript at Replay.io:

- https://www.replay.io/devtools

Replay is really impressive - having a record/replay runtime that can capture all the inputs to the JS engine and reproduce execution deterministically is in a completely different category from what CDP exposes. That’s what enables true time-travel debugging.

Wirebrowser sits at the other end of the spectrum: it attaches to any unmodified browser that supports CDP and works directly with the live runtime. The workflows end up being very different, but it’s fascinating to see what becomes possible when the runtime itself participates in the recording.
