Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
ExecuteAutomation Playwright
Playwright Model Context Protocol Server - Tool to automate Browsers and APIs in Claude Desktop, Cline, Cursor IDE and More 🔌.
frontend-visual-qa
Audits rendered UI and specific task/object-link handoffs; excludes ordinary source citations alone. Audits already-rendered UI and Markdown/Obsidian image layout — web app, deck/slide, dashboard, design-system, or Electron/native app — via real-browser/native-app journeys and a Playwright sweep. Use after UI implementation to find typography, overflow, responsive, routing, data-viz, browser-output, or native-shell defects, or to compare a render against a reference. Not for greenfield UI design (use ui-designer) or QA-program setup (use qa-expert).
