It is designed specifically to work with robocorp-tasks, a Robocorp framework for defining and running automation tasks, and provides convenience methods like browser.goto() and browser.page() that return the current or newly created browser instance.\n\nThe package lets you write browser automation code that feels native to the Robocorp task model: you configure the browser once per task (headless mode, screenshot behavior, slow-motion delays), then call simple APIs to navigate and interact with pages. Under the hood, it manages Playwright's browser and context objects, closing them automatically when the task completes. It is most useful for teams building robotic process automation (RPA) workflows, web scraping tasks, or automated testing within the Robocorp ecosystem.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building automation tasks within the Robocorp framework or need a lightweight Playwright wrapper with automatic lifecycle management. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and integrates seamlessly with robocorp-tasks. Install it only if you plan to use it with Robocorp; standalone Playwright is the better choice for non-Robocorp projects."},"id":"robocorp-browser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robocorp-browser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robocorp-browser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/robocorp-browser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"robocorp-browser","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Robocorp browser automation library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":200329,"position":9694,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.4.0"}
