Thanks for quick reply. Maybe I should phrase this a little bit differently - What’s the point of having a command which installs all the browsers but not Edge?

By default playwright installs only open source browsers. All proprietary ones including Edge and Chrome have to be installed manually.

Playwright’s install process only installs Chromium, Firefox and Webkit by default.

As the error message said, you have to run the npx playwright install msedge after the regular npx playwright install to install it.

See the second bullet item from the link below. https://playwright.dev/docs/release-notes#ubuntu-arm64-support--more
