Upside:
Browser pooling by default.
Well documented, consistent PlaywrightEx API for advanced use cases.
Early adopters ftw!

Hey Elixir friends! :)
We need help completing Elixir's browser runtime by porting some Erlang functions to JavaScript.
No Erlang knowledge required. Each function unlocks multiple Elixir stdlib functions!

I present: playwright_ex
A simple Playwright client for #elixirlang.
Experimental.
Extracted from phoenix_test_playwright.
PRs welcome!
It's not comprehensive, because that's a daunting task (see playwright-elixir).
But it should be easy to add anything that's missing.

Surprising ⚡️:
Performance of phoenix_test_playwright already pretty good.
Compared to official javascript client.
Many tests: browser re-use (experimental) brings slight boost.
Unclear if worth the complexity.

For phoenix_test_playwright, I want shared browser instances.
Browser pool, each test module has to wait for available browser in `setup_all`.
