Hi Mikko,

Thanks for the update. I was not aware of this library until now. Curious: how does this library compare with SeleniumLibrary (which I use heavily)? Does it offer different, or somehow ‘better’ functionality?

Thanks, Jeff

@javajeff13 There are many differences. We are using a tool called Playwright that is a new open source browser automation tool. We have also tried to take all the things we have learned from browser automation with SeleniumLibrary (+ other tools such as Cypress) and use those as the bases of our keyword design.

You can learn more from:

> **[Browser Library](https://robotframework-browser.org/)**

  
and by testing the library.
