Playwright is the browser automation library that replaced Cypress as the default choice for new projects in 2026. Microsoft ships it with first-class support for Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit; auto-waiting that eliminates most of the flake that made Selenium and Cypress painful; role-based selectors that survive refactors and document accessibility; and a TypeScript API that is actually pleasant to use. The test runner is faster than Cypress in CI by a meaningful margin. For any new project that needs end-to-end browser tests, visual QA, or reproducible user-flow checks, this is the pick.
