How this works?
How to use the matrix to understand Playwright cross-browser support.
Pick your browsers
Toggle Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, Mobile Chrome, or Mobile Safari to narrow the table to the browsers your test suite targets.
Filter by feature category
Select one or more categories — Tracing, Video, Network, Emulation, Downloads, BiDi and CDP, or HAR — to focus on the area you care about.
Read the support level
Each cell shows Full, Partial, or None. Partial cells include a short note explaining what works and what does not so you know exactly what to expect.
Plan your cross-browser strategy
Use the matrix to decide which features are safe to rely on in every browser and which ones need fallbacks or browser-specific test conditions.
