What does Playwright do?
Playwright is a modern browser automation framework designed for controlling real browsers at scale. It is widely used for automated testing, web data collection, and complex browser workflows that require reliable interaction with JavaScript-heavy websites, network requests, and dynamic page states.
Is playwright better than Selenium?
With built-in auto-waiting mechanism and powerful selector engine, it supports Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit natively, making it more reliable for handling modern web applications with single-page applications and dynamic content. Though widely adopted, Selenium often requires additional configuration to achieve similar stability.
Is Playwright available for data extraction?
Yes. Playwright is commonly used for web scraping, especially on sites that rely heavily on JavaScript rendering. Its ability to control browser behavior, intercept network traffic, and wait for specific page states makes it suitable for structured data extraction in complex environments.
Does Playwright run tests in Chrome?
Yes. Playwright supports Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, as well as Firefox and WebKit. It can run in both headless and headful modes and supports mobile and tablet device emulation for cross-environment testing and data collection.
Can Playwright be detected?
Like all browser automation tools, Playwright can be detected by advanced anti-bot systems through browser fingerprints, behavioral patterns, and network signals. Detection risk can be reduced by using real browser environments, high-quality IPs, realistic interaction patterns, and proper session management.
How to speed up a Playwright scraper?
We can greatly speed up scrapers using Playwright by ensuring that the headless browser is blocking the rendering of images and media, and reusing browser contexts where possible. For large-scale scraping, parallel execution combined with efficient proxy routing and optimized waiting logic can significantly increase throughput and stability.
