Do not open Developer Tools when browser opens

Question

When I run my tests, the Developer Tools panel is automatically open. Can I close it using Playwright? I don't need to see it.

If you are using chromium.launch you can disable DevTools from showing with the following config.

    const browser = await chromium.launch({
        devtools: false
    });
