Browser Automation

Quick answer

Pick browser automation by browser coverage, language binding, and whether the job is test automation, scraping, or agent control. Playwright is the broad cross-browser route, Puppeteer is Chrome-first, Selenium is the mature WebDriver baseline, Browser Use fits natural-language agent workflows, and Crawlee adds crawler infrastructure around browser workers.
