Issue resolved with latest playwright update 1.29.2 @emilyrohrbough - please try.

Seems to work with 1.31.2? https://github.com/AtofStryker/cypress-issue-25283

This issue should probably be closed, as Guides > Launching Browsers > WebKit (Experimental) says:

Install the playwright-webkit NPM package in your repo to acquire WebKit itself: npm install --save-dev playwright-webkit@1.34.

which is later than the version 1.29.0 in this issue.

The current release of playwright is however much higher: v1.41.2
