Playwright: [Feature] Option to install only a selection of browser engines
Currently once you install playwright, playwright-core will be installed, which will install all 3 browser engines (takes quite long). It would be awesome, if we could give somehow the option that only some engines will be installed.
Either by specifying it e.g. in the package.json or by splitting playwright-core up in different packages, which the user has to install. (for webkit, chromium and firefox).

We have convenience npms playwright-chromium, playwright-webkit and playwright-firefox that only download that single browser. Note that we will change the export signatures for them so that they matched playwright itself (see https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/814).
