前言
我们之前介绍过，我们在本地安装playwright时，默认会下载chromium,firefox 和 webkit浏览器，当然playwright不只支持下载这3个浏览器，还支持下载chrome、chrome-beta、msedge、msedge-beta、msedge-dev浏览器。
下载浏览器
在之前的教程中，我们介绍过，运行playwright install命令会自动安装chromium,firefox和webkit浏览器，如果我们想要安装其他的浏览器，在安装之前，我们可以运行playwright install --help查看支持的浏览器，示例如下：
playwright install --help
Usage: playwright install [options] [browser...]
ensure browsers necessary for this version of Playwright are installed
Options:
--with-deps install system dependencies for browsers
--dry-run do not execute installation, only print information
--force force reinstall of stable browser channels
-h, --help display help for command
Examples:
- $ install
Install default browsers.
- $ install chrome firefox
Install custom browsers, supports chromium, chrome, chrome-beta, msedge, msedge-beta, msedge-dev, firefox, webkit.从输出信息来看，支持的浏览器有：chromium, chrome, chrome-beta, msedge, msedge-beta, msedge-dev, firefox, webkit
注：安装指定的浏览器, 如果本机已经安装过了，就不会再安装了
命令如下：
代码语言：text复制playwright install chrome
playwright install msedge安装Chrome和edge时，这两个浏览器将被安装在默认位置，具体位置视操作系统而定。
示例如下：
代码语言：text复制playwright install chrome

╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝如上所示，因为本地已经安装了Chrome和Edge浏览器，所以playwright安装会报错，提示浏览器已经安装。
根据报错提示，我们也可以通过运行playwright install --force browser来强制安装浏览器
playwright install --force chrome

如果不加参数，我们运行chromium.launch() 不带 channel 参数默认打开的是 chromium 浏览器
代码语言：python代码运行次数：0复制from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
with sync_playwright() as pw:
browser = pw.chromium.launch(headless=False)
page = browser.new_page()
page.goto("https://www.baidu.com/")我们都知道，Chrome和edge都是使用的chromium内核，因此我们只需要再加一个chanel参数即可，如果我们要打开Chrome浏览器，则参数为channel="chrome"，示例如下：
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
with sync_playwright() as pw:
browser = pw.chromium.launch(headless=False, channel="chrome")
page = browser.new_page()
page.goto("https://www.baidu.com/")
page.pause()运行脚本，浏览器界面如下：
同理，要打开edge浏览器，添加channel="msedge"参数即可，代码如下：
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
with sync_playwright() as pw:
browser = pw.chromium.launch(headless=False, channel="msedge")
page = browser.new_page()
page.goto("https://www.baidu.com/")
page.pause()运行脚本，打开的浏览器页面如下：
总结
本文主要介绍了playwright对各浏览器的下载，以及启动不同浏览器的方法，我们需要注意启动Chrome或者edge浏览器时，需要加上chanel参数。
