Playwright looks promising if you&rsquo;re OK with a narrower range of browsers: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright

It still has the least limitations with respect to browsers and broad support for different languages.I would suggest editing the question to mention browser automation for testing specifically. Automation can be done in all sorts of areas and driving a browser for testing is a tiny area of testing too.
