I have never used playwright so I can't say if it is more stable than Selenium. The challenges to adopt it to to canopy would be the same as described in this issue:

#462

In short, writing a canopy style DSL for playwright is totally possible but would need to be its own distinct project.

Hi, my mind keeps wandering around the idea.

It looks like introduction to F# DSL

for the newbies like me.

Canopy is way too good to start another scraping project with the plain Playwright. I just can't force myself to load these Node s.t into VScode and start from scratch.
