Playwright to Chrome

This article discusses the author's experience using Playwright MCP with Codex CLI and Claude Code for browser automation tasks. It contrasts the initial approach of setting up Playwright MCP and its browser extension, which requires frequent reconnections after updates, with Claude Code's newer /chrome beta feature and Chrome extension. The latter offers a more seamless experience with one-time authorization and no manual maintenance, making it a more efficient alternative for browser automation workflows in a development context.
