WebDriverIO
Another Selenium wrapper. Playwright made the entire WebDriver ecosystem redundant.
WebDriverIO provides a friendlier API over the WebDriver protocol with a plugin ecosystem and test runner. It improved the Selenium experience, but it's still built on the same flawed foundation.
Playwright bypasses WebDriver entirely. Direct DevTools Protocol communication is faster, more reliable, and more capable. WebDriverIO has added Playwright as an alternative backend, which says everything about where the WebDriver protocol is heading. If you're starting fresh, skip the wrapper and use Playwright directly.
