Last time I tried playwright it required custom versions of the browsers. That meant it was impossible to use with any newer browser features. That made it impossible to use if you wanted to target new and advanced use cases or prep a site in expectation of some new API feature that just shipped or is expected to ship soon.
If you used playwright, write tons of tests, then hear about some new browser feature you want to target to get ahead of your competition, you'd have to refactor all of your tests away from playwright to something that could target chrome canary or firefox nightly or safari technology preview.
Has that changed?
