Description
When I ran the scraper for the first time, it was installing the required dependencies and downloaded the chromium-linux from the playwright even when I'm running Windows 11.
I decided to ignore that at first and was hence getting "playwright error: Target closed: Target, context or browser has been closed".
Right now, I've installed chromium from playwright but the issue still persists on my end. This could be an error on my end completely. This is my first time writing an issue so please ignore any mistakes I made. I would really appreciate a suggestion of possible solution for the issue on my end as well.

Research direction
Start by locating the scraper's Playwright dependency installation and browser-launch entry points, then reproduce the first-run setup on Windows 11. Check why the Linux Chromium build is selected and verify the scraper launches with the appropriate Windows browser; done means dependency installation and browser startup complete without the reported Target closed error.
