Description

Feature description

k6 browser supports networking throttling. As a user, I'd like to adjust this option in k6 Studio before exporting my browser script so I can simulate different network conditions.

Suggested solution (optional)

Before exporting the browser script, have an option where users can tweak the network settings.

Already existing or connected issues / PRs (optional)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how network throttling is implemented in k6 browser (https://grafana.com/docs/k6/latest/javascript api/k6 browser/page/throttlenetwork/) and identify where in k6 Studio's UI (likely in the export dialog or settings panel) to add a network throttling option. Look at existing UI components for exporting browser scripts to understand how to integrate.
