Create an Instance of SB without context

[pol4xer]

I am trying to use SB, but I don't like context:

from seleniumbase import SB
with SB(...) as sb:
    pass

Is there any way to create an instance of SB and save it to a variable? Something like that:

from seleniumbase import SB
class Foo(SB):
    pass

foo = Foo()
foo.uc_open(...)
foo.get_new_driver()
foo.open_new_tab()
...

Of course, I can use Driver: from seleniumbase import Driver, but it doesn't have get_new_driver and open_new_tab features.

For the SB() / BaseCase formats (seen in help_docs/syntax_formats.md), there must always be a beginning AND an end. That way everything can be properly set up in the beginning, and properly closed at the end. Without a context manager format, there's no way of knowing when the end is reached. When used for website testing, the end part also includes code for generating test reports, etc.

For just the variable/object with no end code, there's the Driver() format, which has limited functionality. The Driver() object expects you to close the browser on your own via driver.quit() (to prevent memory leaks). The Driver() object also expects you to handle virtual display setup and teardown on your own (using https://github.com/mdmintz/sbVirtualDisplay) when you need to use SeleniumBase in a headless environment.

As I understood, SB is more "antibot" than pure "Driver", that's why I want to use SB. But context limits me in the process of developing.
About beginning - I can setup everything in the init of my custom class or do nothing, if I expect base logic from it.
About closing - I was planning to close browser after i'm done with it:

from seleniumbase import SB
class Foo(SB):
    pass

foo = Foo()
foo.uc_open(...)
foo.get_new_driver()
foo.open_new_tab()
...
foo.close() / foo.quit() / foo.exit() # or something like that

SB() is about being able to run SeleniumBase scripts with the full API without using pytest, which is what most scripts are run with (BaseCase formats). The UC Mode part is one of many options (--uc / uc=True).
