Reviewer scorecard
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
