Add an option to suppress browser logs while keeping console.log output

[nexus9111]

Feature Description

It would be great to have an option in k6browser that allows running a script using the standard k6 run command but with the ability to suppress browser-related logs (e.g., logs from the browser itself or system-level debugging) while still preserving the output of console.log statements from the script.

Use Case:
In many scenarios, users want to focus on the custom logs added in their scripts (via console.log) for debugging or analysis. However, the current behavior includes browser logs which can make it difficult to sift through the information.

Proposed Solution:
Introduce a command-line option like --silent-browser-logs or --filter-logs to filter out browser-related logs but keep console.log outputs intact.

Thank you for considering this feature!

Hi @nexus9111,

We've recently merged in a change which by default completely suppresses the logs coming from chromium/chrome and the logs that are logged by the website under test. Here's the PR: #1553. This will make into the next release of k6 (v0.56.0). This means that the logs that are logged will either be:

1. Internal errors;
2. User errors -- trying to highlight incorrect usage of APIs;
3. console.logs from the test script.

Hope this will satisfy your requirements.
