I wonder if you can make a fast Rust browser to do this without chrome

Human Parody :
This is stupid because it would use up more tokens, when just getting the script from the browser and using a tool to convert it to markdown would be way more efficient

Extrasilencio :
yeah and even Firefox and possibly chromium have a --screenshot argument that renders the page and takes a screenshot after done. It returns it directly to the caller. Cannot get any simpler.

The key difference is where each tool is sitting in your stack. Playwright controls the browser from the outside like an automated human user, using external clicks, URLs, and screenshots to test whether a page looks and behaves correctly. But Iris lives inside your web app’s code as an embedded development tool, allowing AI coding agents to verify component state, network requests, and errors directly in memory without wasting tokens on images. I still use playwright as the gate for my verification contracts documenting with ffmpeg as part of local CI, but I use iris for unit tests—lower spend on tokens and context for a local subagent.

Giving an agent a real viewport instead of DOM text is the actual missing piece, most CSS bugs are completely invisible in the markup. The thing I'd want nailed down first is deterministic sizing - fixed viewport and @2x every run, otherwise the screenshots drift and the agent starts fixing things that were never broken.

Why the would you ever do this crap when every website already loads in all the information you need into the browser

playwright is token hungry compared to some others. not sure about this one but there's plenty others workflows and tool schema token cost

What utter bs, it's only ever as good as the image capability of the model; which is if you have ever tried this with three-js gamedev, not very.
