Selenium vs Playwright, a comparison
A bit of context
In the Web Scraping industry, we've heard a lot of times about Selenium and Playwright when there's the need for a fully-headed scraper in Python (and of course Puppeteer for JS). And it is almost ironic that two of the most used tools were built for purposes other than web scraping.
Both Selenium and Playwright are, in fact, browser automation tools, created for helping front-end developers test their work, automating tests about the websites they are building using different browsers. But what is a scraper if not an automated browser going around the web?
