# Chromium is not in the npm install: Playwright downloads browsers

# are not cacheable, so `--with-deps` still spends 12-18s on a cache hit.
# about as much as downloading.

# We skip `--with-deps`. The ubuntu-latest image ships Google Chrome, so
# the system libraries Chromium needs are already installed. The flag
# would add ~25 MB of fonts from Ubuntu's package mirror, which sometimes
# slows to a crawl and has stretched this step from seconds to 10+ minutes.
