What makes Patchright different from standard Playwright?

Patchright is a specialized fork of Playwright designed to bypass common bot detection services like Cloudflare and reCAPTCHA, making it more reliable for automated interactions.

Why does this skill require a server to be started?

Standard script execution terminates the process after each command, losing the browser state. The server mode keeps the browser session alive so you can perform multi-step interactions like logging in.

Can I use this to test applications running on my local machine?

Yes, this skill is specifically optimized for localhost, 127.0.0.1, and private network IPs, making it ideal for pre-deployment verification.

Does it support taking screenshots?

Yes, it supports both standard and full-page screenshots, which are saved directly to your local environment for visual verification and layout checks.
