    // on a remote machine).
    runner: 'local',
    //
    // ==================
    // Specify Test Files
    // ==================
    // Define which test specs should run. The pattern is relative to the directory
    // from which `wdio` was called. Notice that, if you are calling `wdio` from an
    // NPM script (see https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/run-script) then the current working
    // directory is where your package.json resides, so `wdio` will be called from there.
    //
    specs: [
        './test/specs/**/*.js'
    ],
    // Patterns to exclude.
    exclude: [
        // 'path/to/excluded/files'
    ],
    //
    // ============
    // Capabilities
    // ============
    // Define your capabilities here. WebdriverIO can run multiple capabilities at the same
    // time. Depending on the number of capabilities, WebdriverIO launches several test
    // sessions. Within your capabilities you can overwrite the spec and exclude options in
    // order to group specific specs to a specific capability.
    //
    // First, you can define how many instances should be started at the same time. Let's
    // say you have 3 different capabilities (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) and you have
    // set maxInstances to 1; wdio will spawn 3 processes. Therefore, if you have 10 spec
    // files and you set maxInstances to 10, all spec files will get tested at the same time
    // and 30 processes will get spawned. The property handles how many capabilities
    // from the same test should run tests.
    //
    maxInstances: 10,
    //
    // If you have trouble getting all important capabilities together, check out the
    // Sauce Labs platform configurator - a great tool to configure your capabilities:
    // https://docs.saucelabs.com/reference/platforms-configurator
    //
    capabilities: [{
    
        // maxInstances can get overwritten per capability. So if you have an in-house Selenium
        // grid with only 5 firefox instances available you can make sure that not more than
        // 5 instances get started at a time.

Describe the bug After setting up new project, whenever browser is launched it has broken/shrinked viewport. Maximizing browser doesn’t change anything. I’ve tried it on two different PCs and even with two different browsers (Chrome and Edge). Results are different but not by much. Viewport is broken in both browser but in slightly different way. Here are screens how it looks like: https://ibb.co/6tRCF6z and https://ibb.co/1Xr77r5. I’ve also tried in on different pages than the one in auto-generated tests with the same results

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create new node project using npm init -y
2. Run npm install @wdio/cli
3. Run npx wdio config
4. In interactive config manager use all default options, wait for all dependencies to be set up
5. Run npm install @babel/core @babel/cli @babel/preset-env @babel/register and add babel.config.js as it is presented in dosc (in fact with one small change: lts is not supported node version, so I’ve set it up to 14 insetad)
6. When everything is installed run npx wdio

Expected behavior Browser opens and the example test added by wdio config script runs.

temporary solution :

await browser.url(...);
await browser.setWindowSize(1200, 900);

Can confirm, added this to before() hook in our main config, plays nice with devtools and chrome-driver for chrome, and also with firefox.

Thanks for the tip.
