...meanwhile, Playwright is sipping piña coladas?

It seems like the choice of Selenium might be a bit limiting if it doesn't allow scrolling, doesn't give access to http status codes and doesn't do full page screenshots or screenshots of specific elements.

If you're invested in Selenium for other reasons I can see why it might not be worth switching. I can't test it right now but I'd be interested to see what a simple Playwright test does with this: just scroll to the bottom and back to the top, wait for the lazy elements to load, then take a full-page screenshot.
