Playwright MCP v0.0.83
Playwright MCP v0.0.83 introduces several bug fixes, including saving browser search matches to files, better dialog handling on navigation, Docker orphan process reaping, and Chromium 155+ compatibility for WebMCP tools.
Why this signal matters
The Playwright MCP v0.0.83 release addresses several stability and tool interaction issues: 'browser find' now takes a filename to output matches to a file rather than inline in the response; 'browser navigate' and 'browser reload' report dialogs encountered during page loads instead of timing out; crashes when closing the browser during downloads have been fixed; 'browser wait for' reports when execution time is capped at 30 seconds; WebMCP tools now decouple from stale tabs/frames and support Chromium 155+; snapshots quote accessible names resembling regex patterns; and the Docker container correctly reaps orphaned browser processes.
Actionable summary
Playwright MCP v0.0.83 updates tool behaviors: browser find accepts a filename parameter to write matches to disk, browser navigate/reload reports open dialogs rather than timing out, browser wait for notes a 30s cap, stale tab/frame bindings in WebMCP tools are resolved, Chromium 155+ is supported, and snapshots quote regex-like accessible names.
