just stumbled upon a guide on using vitest 4 browser mode to handle component testing instead of relying on playwright. it seems like a
massive time saver if you want to avoid the overhead of heavier end-to-end tools for simple unit checks. the setup uses vitest -browser which is
way more lightweight than running full browser automation suites. i'm curious if anyone else has actually switched their testing workflow over to this yet.
it might be the death of playwright for frontend devs if it stays this stable. let me know if you've seen any significant speed differences in your CI pipelines.
