I don't know playwright, but how is this different than puppeteer?

The issue I'm noticing with puppeteer is that it isn't always successful to immediately get the right javascript to complete a simple task such as accepting a cookie consent banner, for example.

Playwright is a bit of an evolution of Puppeteer. Mostly the same API, extends the API a bit (I tend to prefer its abstractions over Puppeteer), and designed to work with multiple browsers. It came from many of the same developers as Puppeteer.

Does Playwright work with multiple browsers? I get the impression it can work with multiple engines, but they're just custom wrappers and not the full/original browsers.

I've been using Playwright for years testing safari/FF/chromium-based engines. Playwright team compiles every single browser at each new release.

It's great, no worry. Besides very minor things like mobile safari bugs (which you can't test on Macos safari neither, you need a real device or browser stack) it's perfect.
