7.5Browser-Specific CI Gotchas

Browser CI Challenge Solution
Safari/WebKit Not available on Linux CI runners Use Playwright's WebKit engine (close approximation)
Safari (real) Requires macOS runner Use macOS runner for critical Safari tests
Edge Requires separate installation Use channel: 'msedge' in Playwright
Firefox Memory-heavy on CI Increase runner memory or limit parallel tests
Mobile Safari Cannot automate directly Use BrowserStack/Sauce Labs
Samsung Internet Not in standard automation tools Use BrowserStack device lab
