Hey, really awesome project. Would really like to use it but want to get your opinion about something.
I just tested it by telling Opus to go to google image search and grab the link to the first image in that page and get me the console logs.
It kept clicking on the tags up top under the search bar then noticing the url changed and navigating back. I interrupted and told it to take screenshots with the normal tool when it gets stuck. It still had issues clicking the right element. Then in the end it got the link of the 2nd image not the first one.
Hope this can be improved somehow,
Thank you!

remorses9mo agoI added a image with VImium like labels function which should make tasks like these much easier. Can you retry?
maddada9mo agoHey, thank you for improving it, I retested and I can tell that playwriter is faster in some ways but for some reason it took a full minute more to do this test (this time it did get the url correctly though)
go to google image search, search for potato, grab the link to the first image in that page and get me the console logs of the page. use playwriter / use claude in chrome
I also noticed that I needed to restart the browser after I disabled then re-enabled the playwriter mcp for it to be able to connect to it (small note)
It's a small test anyways, just thought it's interesting to share.
Thanks again for your great work :)

Console Logs:
The Google Images page did not produce any console logs. Google's pages are typically optimized for production and suppress console output.

This image is from Veggipedia - Potatoes (the first result in the Google Images search).
Console Logs:
The Google Images page itself has no console output. The only captured logs were:
[debug] [VSC] Content script initialized
[debug] [VSC] Content script initialized
These are from a VS Code extension running in your browser, not from the Google Images page itself. Google's pages are typically silent on console logging.

Here's what I found:
First Image URL (from Veggipedia):

Source Page:

Console Logs:
The page only has 2 console messages, both from a browser extension:
[1] [11:41:16 PM] [DEBUG] [VSC] Content script initialized
[2] [11:41:20 PM] [DEBUG] [VSC] Content script initialized
The Google Images page itself doesn't generate much console output - just the VSCode extension content script initialization logs. There are no errors or warnings from the page.

It worked for me, did you use the thinking mode? with claude code?
What function did it use the most in the execute tool? I need to improve the accessibility snapshot probably
