Package: node-playwright
Version: 1.38.0+ds-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I notice that the package recommends:
  firefox | chromium

However, Firefox is nowadays named `firefox-esr'.  I therefore recommend to change the
package recommendation to:
  firefox-esr | firefox | chromium

Or better, just depend on `www-browser', so other browsers like `google-chrome-stable'
and others can be used and the user is not forced to install an extra browser just for
this package.

Best regards,


Danai
