Re:We made Playwright 2x faster and 80% more token efficient by smpandya on Friday September 18, 2026 @01:05PM (#49757207)
I tried this myself - my conclusion was the overhead of parsing a screenshot, generating an action, and being limited to headful mode is much less efficient than reading accessibility trees & generating CDP commands.

basically, browser automation is a closer-to-the-metal abstraction than computer use, allows more flexibility, and ends up being much cheaper at scale!
