✨ Highlights

• 👥 Separate sessions in one browser — work with multiple accounts without sharing their cookies or storage. browser_tabs with action: "new" now accepts isolatedContext: "<name>": tabs with the same name share a context, while different names stay isolated. Omit it or use "default" for the default context. Cookie and storage tools operate on the current tab's context. (microsoft/playwright#43087)
• 🙈 Redact runtime values in URLs (#​1791) — session and grant values minted at runtime cannot be listed in a secrets file ahead of time. --redact-url-params=access_token,code (config redactUrlParams, env PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_REDACT_URL_PARAMS) replaces the named query and fragment parameter values with <redacted> in tool responses. Like secrets, this is a convenience, not a security feature. The extension also removes its connection token from the connect page URL after reading it. (microsoft/playwright#43258)
• 🔎 Bound find results (microsoft/playwright#42077) — common search terms no longer have to fill the response with every match. browser_find accepts a positive integer maxResults, returns the first matching items with their context, and reports the total match count. Omit it to keep returning all matches; ancestor paths are unchanged. (microsoft/playwright#42947)
• 🌐 Inspect requests across navigations (microsoft/playwright-cli#479) — requests from the previous page are no longer lost as soon as a flow navigates. browser_network_requests accepts all: true to include retained history, keeping up to 200 requests from earlier navigations. Request indexes stay stable across navigations for browser_network_request. browser_console_messages also reports counts consistent with its existing all option. (microsoft/playwright#43526)
• 🎯 Use locators in your language (#​1797) — element tools such as browser_click now accept JavaScript, Python, Java and C# locators in target, alongside snapshot refs and CSS selectors. Invalid targets get an actionable error, including a reminder to pass the bare ref rather than button [ref=e5]. (microsoft/playwright#43539)
• 📂 Skip unsupported workspace-root requests (#​1798) — clients that advertise roots but cannot answer roots/list can stall the first tool call. Pass --ignore-roots (config ignoreRoots: true, env PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_IGNORE_ROOTS=true) to skip that request and use the server's current working directory as the workspace root. (microsoft/playwright#43532)
• 🍪 Delete cookies by domain and path — deleting a cookie by name no longer has to remove every cookie with that name. browser_cookie_delete (opt-in via --caps=storage) accepts optional domain and path filters to leave other domains and paths untouched. (microsoft/playwright#43319)

🐛 Fixes

• fix(mcp): allow combining time, text and textGone in browser_wait_for — when combined with a text condition, time is its timeout (capped at 30 seconds), not a delay before checking it. Supplying both text and textGone now waits for the first condition to happen, rather than both in sequence. (microsoft/playwright#43011)
• fix(mcp): allow loopback hosts by default for all bind addresses — HTTP clients can connect through localhost, 127.0.0.1 or [::1] regardless of the bind address. Other hosts still require --allowed-hosts; binding to 0.0.0.0 prints a usable localhost URL. (microsoft/playwright#42993)
• fix(mcp): pass credentials from --proxy-server as proxy username/password — credentials embedded in the proxy URL are now passed to the browser as proxy authentication settings. (microsoft/playwright#43071)
• fix(mcp): race browser_navigate_back against modal states — browser_navigate_back reports a dialog opened during history navigation instead of timing out. (microsoft/playwright#43252)
• fix(mcp): normalize bare host URLs and loopback IP addresses — browser_navigate handles scheme-less hosts with ports and uses HTTP for loopback addresses such as 127.0.0.1:3000 and [::1]:3000. (microsoft/playwright#43264)
• fix(mcp): do not close the browser twice when the client disconnects — stdio disconnects let the browser close gracefully instead of force-killing it through a second close request. Dashboard annotation processes also exit when their parent goes away. (microsoft/playwright#43174)
• fix(mcp): give each isolated client its own idle timer — with HTTP transport and --isolated, an idle client's context now expires even while another client keeps the shared browser busy. (microsoft/playwright#43527)
• fix(mcp): apply route headers without bypassing origin filters — browser_route (opt-in via --caps=network) matches added request header names case-insensitively, includes custom headers in mocked responses, and preserves origin filters and other routes when modifying request headers. (microsoft/playwright#43227, microsoft/playwright#43244, microsoft/playwright#43637)
• fix(mcp): correct cookie filtering and missing-domain errors — browser_cookie_list (opt-in via --caps=storage) matches domain and path boundaries instead of unrelated names such as notexample.com or /apiary. browser_cookie_set asks for an explicit domain when the current page has no hostname, such as about:blank. (microsoft/playwright#43316, microsoft/playwright#43368, microsoft/playwright#43318)
• fix(mcp): accept Windows paths in browser_resume location — browser_resume (opt-in via --caps=devtools) no longer mistakes a Windows drive-letter colon for the line-number separator. (microsoft/playwright#43349)
• fix(mcp): report run-code route handler exceptions once and verbatim — browser_run_code_unsafe reports a route handler's thrown value without duplicating it or wrapping non-Error values in another error. (microsoft/playwright#43203)
• fix(extension): release debugger when attach completes after connection close — disconnecting while browser_tabs attaches to a new tab no longer leaves that tab attached to the extension's debugger. (microsoft/playwright#43025)
• fix(chromium): close pages that crashed before connecting over CDP — connecting through --cdp-endpoint no longer stalls on an already crashed or discarded page; those pages are omitted from the tab list. (microsoft/playwright#43075)
• fix(aria): skip text nodes that are not rendered — browser_snapshot and accessible names omit unrendered text, including unslotted shadow-host text and text directly inside closed <details>. (microsoft/playwright#43150)
• fix(a11y): treat inert elements and content outside of modal dialogs as hidden — snapshots exclude inert content and content outside the topmost modal <dialog>. Click and fill actions wait for targets to stop being inert instead of silently misfiring. (microsoft/playwright#43211)
• fix(aria): do not count whitespace-only contributors as name sources — snapshots retain button names when whitespace around a hidden icon previously caused the name to disappear. (microsoft/playwright#43317)
• fix(aria): resolve label references consistently — snapshots and role locators recognize tab- or newline-separated label IDs and labels assigned through ariaLabelledByElements, while retaining attribute-based labels in older browsers. (microsoft/playwright#43361, microsoft/playwright#43577, microsoft/playwright#43722)
• fix(aria): quote ~, .inf and .nan in aria snapshots — YAML-like names remain strings rather than being parsed as null or special floating-point values. (microsoft/playwright#43469)
• fix(aria): preserve iframe snapshots with fallback text — snapshots retain an iframe's contents when the iframe element also contains fallback text. (microsoft/playwright#43635)
• fix(aria): match mixed-case roles and states — snapshots and role locators recognize mixed-case role and ARIA state values, including checked, pressed and expanded states. (microsoft/playwright#43727)
