[Feature]: Auto-save profiles after a successful crawl #2924

Description

Currently, profiles must be updated manually. However, many sites refresh credentials on repeated use, when used continuously, especially social media sites. Automatically updating the profile after a crawl can potentially reduce logouts for frequent crawls.

  • The option to save profile can be on the Browser Settings - or perhaps it should even be on by default?
    Crawler will have a new --saveProfile flag.

  • The profile stats should also update the modified date, and perhaps link to the last crawl that modified the profile?

Requirements
