I am therefore pondering on how to proceed with the port of the external browser testing in SeasideTesting. I have the impression it makes more sense to combine SeasideTesting and WebTester for this.

SeasideTesting only needs a way to raise the browser on a URL.  After
that, all communication is done via HTTP.  So FFI is needed, but only if
that's how you open an external web browser from Squeak/Pharo.  How does
WebTester open the initial web browser window...if it doesn't need FFI
then I suggest using the same mechanism with the SeasideTesting port.
