That's pretty good, I've achieved pretty much the same thing using the vercel's agent-browser, but I've tried playwright and it worked easily as good. Its good for scraping, automating stuff in the browser.

agent-browser uses playwright so it struggles with things like cross-origin-iframes - on the other hand, browser harness uses raw cdp, which is unrestrictive. It's discussed in this blog post! https://browser-use.com/posts/bitter-lesson-agent-harnesses
I think the usecase here is to go beyond scraping. I think you can use it as a tool for agent harnesses and make it part of a larger workflow.
Yeah I just created a playwright cli skill in about 30 minutes and I've been using it for months. It is a bit slow but I occasionally try other things like this and they are slow too so maybe that's just inherent.
You should check out Libretto. It can take the playwright code and turn it into a script you can deploy
