TIL when running Vitest browser mode (or plain Playwright) on Github Actions on Ubuntu, you can skip the slow "playwright install chromium" step completely by providing channel option. This makes Playwright use the pre-installed Chrome. So many projects out there that could speed their CIs with this

Yes! Apparently Ubuntu has had it pre-installed for a while. I've wasted so much CI time and energy installing chromium over and over again.
