Playwright
Playwright is a framework for Web Testing and Automation. It allows testing Chromium, Firefox and WebKit with a single API.
I moved from selenium to playwright. It has a pleasant API and things just works our of box. I ran into odd problems with selenium before, especially when waiting for a specific element. Selenium didn't register it, but I could see it load.
It was uncharacteristic of me, because I tend to use boring, older technologies. But this gamble paid off for me.

although I don't follow the need to have what appears to be two completely separate HTML parsing C libraries as dependencies; seeing this in the readme for Modest gives me the shivers because lxml has _seen some shit_
> Modest is a fast HTML renderer implemented as a pure C99 library with no outside dependencies.
although its other dep seems much more cognizant about the HTML5 standard, for whatever that's worth: https://github.com/lexbor/lexbor#lexbor
