I will take this opportunity to ask: is there any way to make Cypress work with Safari? I saw they have experimental webkit support, but I don't know if that's Safari or the GNOME browser on Linux. (Maybe it doesn't matter, but we ran into something at work where we'd have a use for testing on older versions of Safari)

They have experimental support for safari: https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/launching-browsers#Web...

Why not use playwright?

Is playwright that much better?

It's pretty solid. Even cypress webkit is using playwright.

Because our tests are already written with Cypress and we don't want to change again (we just moved from Protractor after Angular said it was dying, so we've already rewritten them once).
