Find a smaller replacement to playwright for tests

[XhmikosR]

We previously used svg2png but it's not maintained. Puppeteer on the other hand is huge.

Opening this so that we track the issue

Puppeteer also has this bug puppeteer/puppeteer#8009, leaving me without a chance to unplug the power connector
There is two candidates now:

1. playwright (svgo uses it)
2. webdriverjs

Any help is welcome

1. playwright also downloads huge binaries and it's even bigger, it just caches the binaries system-wide...
2. haven't used this

Looking at the svg2png PRs, I see there was a PR to switch to puppeteer there too. So, maybe we are stuck, in that case we'll live with puppeteer.

Switching to puppeteer-core is a little better, and you can use the Chrome path already installed locally.

If you could make a PR, that would help!

I wonder if there's a similar solution for other browsers too. Maybe playwright supports using the existent installed browsers?

Either way, this should be an improvement :)

@weolar has a miniblink project, a streamlined browser kernel that might make a difference.

[weolar]

yes, i'm working for miniblink now. bug it's linux version has some bug to fix

It would really help if docs were written in English too.
