## [build 859](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/actions/runs/33160577020) — [commit 0d7c5b7](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/commit/0d7c5b70f8da9c6243b37b6eee96f44899ef08f4)

## What's new

Local integration-worker startup now checks for an existing Playwright Chromium installation before downloading it, making repeated OS Maps and browser-worker runs quicker and less wasteful.

## At a glance

- Reuses the installed Chromium browser when it is already available

- Downloads Chromium only when the local Playwright runtime needs it
