If you need web navigation that handles JavaScript-heavy pages and login flows reliably, the best fit is usually Playwright.

Why Playwright

  • Runs real browser engines: Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit
  • Handles dynamic, JS-heavy sites well
  • Good for login flows: form filling, redirects, OAuth popups, cookies/session handling
  • More reliable than simple HTTP-based tools for modern web apps

Also worth considering

  • Selenium: widely supported, good for browser automation, but often a bit more brittle/slower than Playwright.
  • Puppeteer: strong for Chromium-based automation, but less cross-browser than Playwright.

Short recommendation

  • Best overall: Playwright
  • If you need legacy support / widest ecosystem: Selenium
  • If you only need Chromium: Puppeteer

If you want, I can also recommend the best tool depending on your exact use case, like scraping, QA testing, or authenticated browsing.
