Reviewer scorecard
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“Type-safe search params and route params are game-changing. Catch route errors at compile time, not runtime.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“The type safety for search params alone justifies adoption. URL state management done right.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
“TanStack Router plus TanStack Start could become a serious full-stack framework contender.”
