The E2E test tool from Microsoft — runs tests across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit (Safari's engine) with the same API.
Built by the same team that previously made Puppeteer at Google. Auto-waiting (waits until an element is ready before clicking), trace viewer, codegen, mobile emulation. Better stability than Cypress on complex apps. Took off in 2022+, overtook Cypress in Stack Overflow surveys. npm init playwright@latest sets it up in 30 seconds.
