• v0.0.72 Apr 30, 2026

  ## What's New
  
  ### Tool Improvements
  
  - **`browser_network_requests`** — Now returns a numbered list of requests; use the new `browser_network_request` tool with the index to fetch full details (headers/body) or a single part. Both tools accept a `filename` option to write the output to a file ([#40447](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/40447), [#40454](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/40454))
  - **`browser_run_code` → `browser_run_code_unsafe`** — Renamed to make the sandbox-escape implication explicit ([#40496](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/40496))
  
  ## Bug Fixes
  
  - Surface unhandled rejections in `browser_run_code_unsafe` instead of crashing the server ([#40452](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/40452))
  - Detect the installed extension in non-default Chrome profiles ([#40471](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/40471))
  - Ignore browser config (channel, headless, viewport, etc.) when attaching to the extension ([#40475](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/40475))
