Chrome on Linux also honors CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR: when --user-data-dir is absent, chrome_main_delegate.cc takes the entire user data dir from that variable, before the CHROME_CONFIG_HOME / XDG_CONFIG_HOME / ~/.config logic runs (see docs/user_data_dir.md). Chrome Remote Desktop still sets it on hosts that have ~/.config/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-config/ or chrome-profile/, and the Edge Linux binary reads the same variable. With this PR, such a setup still looks under $config/google-chrome and fails with the same misleading "file not found" error.
Please honor it in both tables, e.g.:
const linuxUserDataDir = (product: string) =>
process.env.CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR || path.join(linuxConfigHome, product);

Both Linux tables now use CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR as the complete profile path, ahead of the config directory variables. I extended CD-001 to verify this precedence and checked CLI discovery for all eight Chrome/Edge channels.

Chrome uses CHROME_CONFIG_HOME whenever it is set, even if empty, and falls back to XDG_CONFIG_HOME only when it is unset (chrome/common/chrome_paths_linux.cc, GetDefaultUserDataDirectory). || treats '' as unset, so this differs from Chrome. Use process.env.CHROME_CONFIG_HOME !== undefined ? ... : .... Same in channelSessions.ts.

CHROME_CONFIG_HOME: '' encodes behavior Chrome does not have (see the comment in chromiumChannels.ts). Unset the variable instead.

This removes the only coverage for connectOverCDP to a browser started with launch(). Keep CD-001 as it was and put the channel lookup check in a separate test.

Hi, I'm the Playwright bot and I addressed the review. Both Linux channel tables now use The regression fails before this revision and passes with it, headless and headed. The connection and neighboring suites passed (38 passed, 1 skipped), as did all 13 CLI CDP tests, build, and lint. CLI discovery also found the overridden profile and live endpoint for all eight Chrome/Edge channels. Only Linux with bundled Chromium was tested; installed Chrome/Edge and Chrome Remote Desktop were not run. Revised on Linux by the Playwright bot - agent run |

Hi, I'm the Playwright bot and I checked the CI failures against this PR and unrelated runs. 🟢 Both failures are pre-existing CI noise, not caused by this PRDetailsAt commit Pre-existing flake / infra
The unchanged Git metadata plugin emits this warning after a three-second Git timeout. This test only logs text; it does not exercise the browser profile discovery or CDP connection paths changed here. I refreshed the aggregated CI database with the three-day update. It has no results for these extension projects, so the matching-test evidence comes from the linked job logs, not database statistics. This resolves the uncertainty in the earlier verdict.

## ✨ Highlights - **🌙 Keep the browser in the background** ([microsoft/playwright#42973](microsoft/playwright#42973)) — connecting through the extension activated the tab and focused the browser window, taking the screen from the app you were working in. Pass `--background` alongside `--extension` (config `background: true`, env `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_BACKGROUND=1`) to leave the connected tab inactive and its window unfocused, and to open the client's new tabs in the background. With `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_TOKEN` set, the connect page opens in the background too (Chrome 158.0.8127.2 or later, with the browser already running). Requires extension 0.5.0 or later. Chrome throttles timers and animation frames in background tabs. ([microsoft/playwright#43864](microsoft/playwright#43864)) - **🗂️ Leave tabs out of the Playwright tab group** ([microsoft/playwright#43038](microsoft/playwright#43038)) — the extension always moved the tabs a client controls into its own tab group. Pass `--no-tab-group` alongside `--extension` (config `tabGroup: false`, env `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_NO_TAB_GROUP=1`) to keep the selected tab and the tabs the client opens in their existing groups, if any. Connection approval is unchanged, each controlled tab still belongs to one client, and the extension's status page lists the controlled tabs. Requires extension 0.5.0 or later. ([microsoft/playwright#43814](microsoft/playwright#43814)) - **👁️ Match only visible elements** ([microsoft/playwright#43855](microsoft/playwright#43855)) — a locator could resolve to a hidden element, or fail because a hidden duplicate matched as well. Set `browser.contextOptions.locateOnlyVisible: true` in the config file to restrict locators to visible elements, both in the `target` of element tools such as `browser_click` and in `browser_run_code_unsafe`, as if `.filter({ visible: true })` ended each of them. A locator that ends with its own visibility filter keeps it. Off by default. ([microsoft/playwright#43903](microsoft/playwright#43903)) - **🏷️ Keep container names in snapshots** ([microsoft/playwright#43809](microsoft/playwright#43809)) — dialogs, landmarks and tables could appear unnamed even when their heading or caption was visible. `browser_snapshot` now retains identifying names on containers and table headers when the text supplying the name also appears among their children. ([microsoft/playwright#43810](microsoft/playwright#43810)) - **🎯 Find custom form controls by label** ([microsoft/playwright#43898](microsoft/playwright#43898)) — native `<label>` associations were ignored for form-associated custom elements. Element tools now recognize these controls through targets such as `getByLabel('City')`, and accessible names use the associated labels too. Both `for` attributes and nested labels are supported. ([microsoft/playwright#43900](microsoft/playwright#43900)) ## 🐛 Fixes - `fix(aria): restore snapshot visibility rules for inert and modal content` — the filtering announced in v0.0.84 is reverted: `browser_snapshot` no longer hides content solely because it is inert or outside a modal dialog. Click, fill and select actions still wait for explicitly inert targets to become non-inert ([microsoft/playwright#43792](microsoft/playwright#43792)). ([microsoft/playwright#43850](microsoft/playwright#43850), [microsoft/playwright#43851](microsoft/playwright#43851)) - `fix(mcp): preserve non-JSON evaluation results` — `browser_evaluate` returns readable representations of values such as BigInt, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `undefined` and circular objects instead of losing values or failing JSON serialization. JSON-compatible results keep their existing format ([#1838](#1838)). ([microsoft/playwright#43973](microsoft/playwright#43973)) - `fix(mcp): resolve config file paths relative to their source` — profile, executable, storage-state, output and other file paths in a config resolve against that file's directory, or its target's directory for a symlink. CLI and environment paths remain relative to the working directory. Extension connections also honor the merged executable-path configuration ([#1836](#1836)). ([microsoft/playwright#43970](microsoft/playwright#43970)) - `fix(extension): report lost tab instead of crashing` — tool responses report when a page closes before its snapshot can be captured. Extension connections also explain that Chrome may have detached the debugger because of an unsupported frame, rather than crashing response rendering ([microsoft/playwright#43230](microsoft/playwright#43230)). ([microsoft/playwright#43863](microsoft/playwright#43863)) - `fix(mcp): bound settle waits when page timers cannot run` — tool calls no longer hang during their settling delay when page timers are throttled, paused or otherwise unable to run ([microsoft/playwright#43752](microsoft/playwright#43752)). ([microsoft/playwright#43767](microsoft/playwright#43767)) - `fix(mcp): report event listener exceptions as console errors` — exceptions from page and context listeners installed through `browser_run_code_unsafe` appear in tool responses and `browser_console_messages` instead of escaping as unhandled errors ([microsoft/playwright#43770](microsoft/playwright#43770)). ([microsoft/playwright#43686](microsoft/playwright#43686)) - `fix(mcp): validate device names and preserve device descriptors` — unknown `--device` values produce an explicit error, and per-client overrides no longer mutate shared device presets ([#1834](#1834)). ([microsoft/playwright#43971](microsoft/playwright#43971)) - `fix(mcp): report one-based console source lines` — source locations in `browser_console_messages` and console entries in tool responses now use editor-style line numbers starting at 1 ([#1839](#1839)). ([microsoft/playwright#43975](microsoft/playwright#43975)) - `fix(mcp): clarify screenshot actions with vision tools` — the `browser_take_screenshot` description no longer rules out acting on a screenshot. `browser_snapshot` stays the default for actions; with `--caps=vision`, the description points to the coordinate-based mouse tools for elements that the snapshot does not expose, such as canvas content ([#1816](#1816)). ([microsoft/playwright#43857](microsoft/playwright#43857)) - `fix(aria): match mixed-case selected options in accessible names` — snapshots and role locators include the selected option's text when a custom listbox uses a mixed-case value such as `aria-selected="TRUE"` ([microsoft/playwright#43785](microsoft/playwright#43785)). ([microsoft/playwright#43787](microsoft/playwright#43787)) - `fix(chromium): preserve fonts when connecting with noDefaults` — extension connections no longer overwrite the existing browser's font settings, avoiding unexpected changes to page rendering ([microsoft/playwright#43715](microsoft/playwright#43715)). ([microsoft/playwright#43773](microsoft/playwright#43773)) - `fix(chromium): honor Linux config directories for channel connections` — extension profile lookup respects `CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR`, `CHROME_CONFIG_HOME` and `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. Channel-based `--cdp-endpoint` connections also use the WebSocket path advertised in `DevToolsActivePort` ([microsoft/playwright#43880](microsoft/playwright#43880)). ([microsoft/playwright#43884](microsoft/playwright#43884)) - `fix(chromium): preserve HTTP navigations across HTTPS upgrade modes` — in browsers launched by the server, `browser_navigate` keeps HTTP URLs on HTTP instead of Chrome automatically upgrading them to HTTPS ([microsoft/playwright#43871](microsoft/playwright#43871)). ([microsoft/playwright#43877](microsoft/playwright#43877)) - `fix(chromium): account for tabs and toolbar in the new headless mode` — with `--headless`, Chrome and Edge now size their window to fit the viewport below the tab strip and toolbar, so videos from `browser_start_video` (opt-in via `--caps=devtools`) no longer lose the bottom of the page. ([microsoft/playwright#43904](microsoft/playwright#43904)) - `fix(screenshot): support full-page SVG documents` — `browser_take_screenshot` with `fullPage: true` works on standalone SVG documents instead of waiting for a nonexistent HTML body ([microsoft/playwright#43962](microsoft/playwright#43962)). ([microsoft/playwright#43972](microsoft/playwright#43972)) ## 📦 Upgrading Configs that use `@playwright/mcp@latest` pick this release up on the next client restart.

## ✨ Highlights - **🪟 Let agents use your logged-in browser without taking over your screen** ([microsoft/playwright#42973](microsoft/playwright#42973)) — `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_BACKGROUND=1 playwright-cli attach --extension=chrome` keeps controlled tabs and the browser window in the background. You can also set `"background": true` in your CLI config. ([microsoft/playwright#43864](microsoft/playwright#43864)) - **🎬 Record the whole viewport in headless Chrome and Edge** — `playwright-cli video-start` no longer loses the bottom of the page to browser-toolbar sizing in the new headless mode. Trace screenshots benefit too. ([microsoft/playwright#43904](microsoft/playwright#43904)) - **🧭 Snapshots keep the names agents need** ([microsoft/playwright#43809](microsoft/playwright#43809)) — `playwright-cli snapshot` preserves identifying names on dialogs, landmarks, tables and column headers, even when their heading or caption also appears below them. ([microsoft/playwright#43810](microsoft/playwright#43810)) - **👁️ Ignore hidden duplicate elements by default** ([microsoft/playwright#43855](microsoft/playwright#43855)) — set `"browser": { "contextOptions": { "locateOnlyVisible": true } }` in your CLI config, then run `playwright-cli open --config=cli.config.json`. Locators resolve only visible matches, avoiding strict-mode failures from hidden, cached UI. This is opt-in. ([microsoft/playwright#43903](microsoft/playwright#43903)) - **🗂️ Keep your tab strip free of agent-created groups** ([microsoft/playwright#43038](microsoft/playwright#43038)) — set `"tabGroup": false` in your CLI config and use `playwright-cli attach --extension=chrome --config=cli.config.json`. Extension sessions can control tabs without creating a Chrome tab group or changing your existing groups. ([microsoft/playwright#43814](microsoft/playwright#43814)) ## 🐛 Fixes - `fix(cli): use ordinal filenames for repeated downloads` — repeated downloads of `report.csv` become `report-1.csv`, `report-2.csv`, and so on instead of silently overwriting earlier files. ([#514](#514), [microsoft/playwright#44011](microsoft/playwright#44011)) - `fix(cli): restrict profile deletion to the exact session` — `playwright-cli -s=work delete-data` no longer deletes the persistent profile of `work-test`. ([#499](#499), [microsoft/playwright#43928](microsoft/playwright#43928)) - `fix(cli): report command failures in text and JSON modes` — invalid arguments and startup failures produce a readable error, or an `{ "isError": true, "error": "..." }` object with `--json`, and exit with code 1 instead of exposing an unhandled rejection. ([#502](#502), [#522](#522)) - `fix(cli): use CLI command names in error messages` — validation errors and recovery hints name commands you can actually run, such as `requests` and `recording-start`, rather than MCP tools, and avoid doubled `Error:` prefixes. ([#515](#515), [microsoft/playwright#43932](microsoft/playwright#43932)) - `fix(cli): avoid killing Windows process enumerators` — `playwright-cli kill-all` correctly reports the daemons it stopped on Windows instead of saying none were found. ([#525](#525), [microsoft/playwright#44008](microsoft/playwright#44008)) - `fix(mcp): preserve non-JSON evaluation results` — `playwright-cli eval '() => 10n'`, circular objects, regular expressions and special numeric values are represented without turning successful evaluations into serialization errors or losing their values. JSON-compatible results retain their existing format. ([microsoft/playwright-mcp#1838](microsoft/playwright-mcp#1838), [microsoft/playwright#43973](microsoft/playwright#43973)) - `fix(mcp): resolve config file paths relative to their source` — relative profile, storage-state, executable and output paths now resolve next to the config file, including `.playwright/cli.config.json` and `~/.playwright/cli.config.json`, rather than the working directory. Paths supplied through flags or environment variables remain relative to the working directory. ([microsoft/playwright-mcp#1836](microsoft/playwright-mcp#1836), [microsoft/playwright#43970](microsoft/playwright#43970)) - `fix(mcp): validate device names and preserve device descriptors` — an unknown `--device` reports a clear error instead of silently disabling emulation; context overrides no longer mutate shared device presets. ([microsoft/playwright-mcp#1834](microsoft/playwright-mcp#1834), [microsoft/playwright#43971](microsoft/playwright#43971)) - `fix(mcp): bound settle waits when page timers cannot run` — commands such as `eval` and `click` no longer hang during their post-action wait on CSP-sandboxed pages or pages with paused clocks. ([microsoft/playwright#43752](microsoft/playwright#43752), [microsoft/playwright#43767](microsoft/playwright#43767)) - `fix(mcp): report event listener exceptions as console errors` — exceptions in page or context listeners registered with `run-code` appear in console output instead of terminating the session. ([microsoft/playwright#43770](microsoft/playwright#43770), [microsoft/playwright#43686](microsoft/playwright#43686)) - `fix(mcp): report one-based console source lines` — `playwright-cli console` reports line numbers that match editors and DevTools. ([microsoft/playwright-mcp#1839](microsoft/playwright-mcp#1839), [microsoft/playwright#43975](microsoft/playwright#43975)) - `fix(extension): report lost tab instead of crashing` — losing the last controlled tab produces an actionable error instead of an undefined-property exception, with guidance when another extension's frame may have caused debugger detachment.

([microsoft/playwright#43871](microsoft/playwright#43871), [microsoft/playwright#43877](microsoft/playwright#43877)) - `fix(screenshot): support full-page SVG documents` — `playwright-cli screenshot --full-page` captures standalone SVG documents instead of timing out.

([microsoft/playwright#43863](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43863)) - `fix(mcp): bound settle waits when page timers cannot run` — tool calls no longer hang during their settling delay when page timers are throttled, paused or otherwise unable to run ([microsoft/playwright#43752](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/43752)). ([microsoft/playwright#43767](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43767)) - `fix(mcp): report event listener exceptions as console errors` — exceptions from page and context listeners installed through `browser_run_code_unsafe` appear in tool responses and `browser_console_messages` instead of escaping as unhandled errors ([microsoft/playwright#43770](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/43770)). ([microsoft/playwright#43686](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43686)) - `fix(mcp): validate device names and preserve device descriptors` — unknown `--device` values produce an explicit error, and per-client overrides no longer mutate shared device presets ([#​1834](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/issues/1834)). ([microsoft/playwright#43971](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43971)) - `fix(mcp): report one-based console source lines` — source locations in `browser_console_messages` and console entries in tool responses now use editor-style line numbers starting at 1 ([#​1839](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/issues/1839)). ([microsoft/playwright#43975](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43975)) - `fix(mcp): clarify screenshot actions with vision tools` — the `browser_take_screenshot` description no longer rules out acting on a screenshot. `browser_snapshot` stays the default for actions; with `--caps=vision`, the description points to the coordinate-based mouse tools for elements that the snapshot does not expose, such as canvas content ([#​1816](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/issues/1816)). ([microsoft/playwright#43857](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43857)) - `fix(aria): match mixed-case selected options in accessible names` — snapshots and role locators include the selected option's text when a custom listbox uses a mixed-case value such as `aria-selected="TRUE"` ([microsoft/playwright#43785](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/43785)). ([microsoft/playwright#43787](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43787)) - `fix(chromium): preserve fonts when connecting with noDefaults` — extension connections no longer overwrite the existing browser's font settings, avoiding unexpected changes to page rendering ([microsoft/playwright#43715](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/43715)). ([microsoft/playwright#43773](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43773)) - `fix(chromium): honor Linux config directories for channel connections` — extension profile lookup respects `CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR`, `CHROME_CONFIG_HOME` and `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. Channel-based `--cdp-endpoint` connections also use the WebSocket path advertised in `DevToolsActivePort` ([microsoft/playwright#43880](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/43880)). ([microsoft/playwright#43884](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43884)) - `fix(chromium): preserve HTTP navigations across HTTPS upgrade modes` — in browsers launched by the server, `browser_navigate` keeps HTTP URLs on HTTP instead of Chrome automatically upgrading them to HTTPS ([microsoft/playwright#43871](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/43871)). ([microsoft/playwright#43877](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43877)) - `fix(chromium): account for tabs and toolbar in the new headless mode` — with `--headless`, Chrome and Edge now size their window to fit the viewport below the tab strip and toolbar, so videos from `browser_start_video` (opt-in via `--caps=devtools`) no longer lose the bottom of the page. ([microsoft/playwright#43904](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43904)) - `fix(screenshot): support full-page SVG documents` — `browser_take_screenshot` with `fullPage: true` works on standalone SVG documents instead of waiting for a nonexistent HTML body ([microsoft/playwright#43962](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/43962)). ([microsoft/playwright#43972](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43972)) ### [`v0.0.84`](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/releases/tag/v0.0.84) [Compare Source](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/compare/v0.0.83...v0.0.84) #### ✨ Highlights - **👥 Separate sessions in one browser** — work with multiple accounts without sharing their cookies or storage. `browser_tabs` with `action: "new"` now accepts `isolatedContext: "<name>"`: tabs with the same name share a context, while different names stay isolated. Omit it or use `"default"` for the default context. Cookie and storage tools operate on the current tab's context. ([microsoft/playwright#43087](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43087)) - **🙈 Redact runtime values in URLs** ([#​1791](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/issues/1791)) — session and grant values minted at runtime cannot be listed in a secrets file ahead of time. `--redact-url-params=access_token,code` (config `redactUrlParams`, env `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_REDACT_URL_PARAMS`) replaces the named query and fragment parameter values with `<redacted>` in tool responses. Like `secrets`, this is a convenience, not a security feature. The extension also removes its connection token from the connect page URL after reading it. ([microsoft/playwright#43258](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43258)) - **🔎 Bound find results** ([microsoft/playwright#42077](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/42077)) — common search terms no longer have to fill the response with every match. `browser_find` accepts a positive integer `maxResults`, returns the first matching items with their context, and reports the total match count. Omit it to keep returning all matches; ancestor paths are unchanged. ([microsoft/playwright#42947](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/42947)) - **🌐 Inspect requests across navigations** ([microsoft/playwright-cli#479](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright-cli/issues/479)) — requests from the previous page are no longer lost as soon as a flow navigates. `browser_network_requests` accepts `all: true` to include retained history, keeping up to 200 requests from earlier navigations. Request indexes stay stable across navigations for `browser_network_request`. `browser_console_messages` also reports counts consistent with its existing `all` option. ([microsoft/playwright#43526](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43526)) - **🎯 Use locators in your language** ([#​1797](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/issues/1797)) — element tools such as `browser_click` now accept JavaScript, Python, Java and C# locators in `target`, alongside snapshot refs and CSS selectors. Invalid targets get an actionable error, including a reminder to pass the bare ref rather than `button [ref=e5]`. ([microsoft/playwright#43539](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43539)) - **📂 Skip unsupported workspace-root requests** ([#​1798](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/issues/1798)) — clients that advertise roots but cannot answer `roots/list` can stall the first tool call. Pass `--ignore-roots` (config `ignoreRoots: true`, env `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_IGNORE_ROOTS=true`) to skip that request and use the server's current working directory as the workspace root. ([microsoft/playwright#43532](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43532)) - **🍪 Delete cookies by domain and path** — deleting a cookie by name no longer has to remove every cookie with that name. `browser_cookie_delete` (opt-in via `--caps=storage`) accepts optional `domain` and `path` filters to leave other domains and paths untouched. ([microsoft/playwright#43319](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43319)) #### 🐛 Fixes - `fix(mcp): allow combining time, text and textGone in browser_wait_for` — when combined with a text condition, `time` is its timeout (capped at 30 seconds), not a delay before checking it. Supplying both `text` and `textGone` now waits for the first condition to happen, rather than both in sequence. ([microsoft/playwright#43011](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43011)) - `fix(mcp): allow loopback hosts by default for all bind addresses` — HTTP clients can connect through `localhost`, `127.0.0.1` or `[::1]` regardless of the bind address. Other hosts still require `--allowed-hosts`; binding to `0.0.0.0` prints a usable localhost URL. ([microsoft/playwright#42993](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/42993)) - `fix(mcp): pass credentials from --proxy-server as proxy username/password` — credentials embedded in the proxy URL are now passed to the browser as proxy authentication settings. ([microsoft/playwright#43071](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43071)) - `fix(mcp): race browser_navigate_back against modal states` — `browser_navigate_back` reports a dialog opened during history navigation instead of timing out. ([microsoft/playwright#43252](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43252)) - `fix(mcp): normalize bare host URLs and loopback IP addresses` — `browser_navigate` handles scheme-less hosts with ports and uses HTTP for loopback addresses such as `127.0.0.1:3000` and `[::1]:3000`. ([microsoft/playwright#43264](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43264)) - `fix(mcp): do not close the browser twice when the client disconnects` — stdio disconnects let the browser close gracefully instead of force-killing it through a second close request. Dashboard annotation processes also exit when their parent goes away. ([microsoft/playwright#43174](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43174)) - `fix(mcp): give each isolated client its own idle timer` — with HTTP transport and `--isolated`, an idle client's context now expires even while another client keeps the shared browser busy. ([microsoft/playwright#43527](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43527)) - `fix(mcp): apply route headers without bypassing origin filters` — `browser_route` (opt-in via `--caps=network`) matches added request header names case-insensitively, includes custom headers in mocked responses, and preserves origin filters and other routes when modifying request headers. ([microsoft/playwright#43227](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43227), [microsoft/playwright#43244](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43244), [microsoft/playwright#43637](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43637)) - `fix(mcp): correct cookie filtering and missing-domain errors` — `browser_cookie_list` (opt-in via `--caps=storage`) matches domain and path boundaries instead of unrelated names such as `notexample.com` or `/apiary`. `browser_cookie_set` asks for an explicit `domain` when the current page has no hostname, such as `about:blank`. ([microsoft/playwright#43316](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43316), [microsoft/playwright#43368](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43368), [microsoft/playwright#43318](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43318)) - `fix(mcp): accept Windows paths in browser_resume location` — `browser_resume` (opt-in via `--caps=devtools`) no longer mistakes a Windows drive-letter colon for the line-number separator. ([microsoft/playwright#43349](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43349)) - `fix(mcp): report run-code route handler exceptions once and verbatim` — `browser_run_code_unsafe` reports a route handler's thrown value without duplicating it or wrapping non-Error values in another error. ([microsoft/playwright#43203](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43203)) - `fix(extension): release debugger when attach completes after connection close` — disconnecting while `browser_tabs` attaches to a new tab no longer leaves that tab attached to the extension's debugger. ([microsoft/playwright#43025](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43025)) - `fix(chromium): close pages that crashed before connecting over CDP` — connecting through `--cdp-endpoint` no longer stalls on an already crashed or discarded page; those pages are omitted from the tab list. ([microsoft/playwright#43075](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43075)) - `fix(aria): skip text nodes that are not rendered` — `browser_snapshot` and accessible names omit unrendered text, including unslotted shadow-host text and text directly inside closed `<details>`. ([microsoft/playwright#43150](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43150)) - `fix(a11y): treat inert elements and content outside of modal dialogs as hidden` — snapshots exclude inert content and content outside the topmost modal `<dialog>`. Click and fill actions wait for targets to stop being inert instead of silently misfiring. ([microsoft/playwright#43211](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43211)) - `fix(aria): do not count whitespace-only contributors as name sources` — snapshots retain button names when whitespace around a hidden icon previously caused the name to disappear. ([microsoft/playwright#43317](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43317)) - `fix(aria): resolve label references consistently` — snapshots and role locators recognize tab- or newline-separated label IDs and labels assigned through `ariaLabelledByElements`, while retaining attribute-based labels in older browsers. ([microsoft/playwright#43361](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43361), [microsoft/playwright#43577](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43577), [microsoft/playwright#43722](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43722)) - `fix(aria): quote ~, .inf and .nan in aria snapshots` — YAML-like names remain strings rather than being parsed as null or special floating-point values. ([microsoft/playwright#43469](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43469)) - `fix(aria): preserve iframe snapshots with fallback text` — snapshots retain an iframe's contents when the iframe element also contains fallback text. ([microsoft/playwright#43635](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43635)) - `fix(aria): match mixed-case roles and states` — snapshots and role locators recognize mixed-case `role` and ARIA state values, including checked, pressed and expanded states. ([microsoft/playwright#43727](https://redirect.github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/43727)) #### 📦 Upgrading Configs that use `@playwright/mcp@latest` pick this release up on the next client restart.

Honor
CHROME_CONFIG_HOME, thenXDG_CONFIG_HOME, when locating Linux Chrome/Edge profiles for CDP connections, MCP extension access and CLI discovery.Channel connections also need the WebSocket path on the second line of
DevToolsActivePort; using only the port gives a 404 for browsers launched with--remote-debugging-port. Keep/devtools/browseras the fallback for port-only files. Extend the existing CDP connection test to cover both environment variables and their precedence.Verified with headless and headed Chromium on Linux, the neighboring CDP tests, CLI discovery and attachment checks, and the full build and lint checks.
