How to use installed version of chrome in Playwright?

Question

I want to use chrome instead of chromium. I can achieve the same in puppeteer by providing executable path. In playwright it doesn't work as browser type argument supports only 'chromium, webkit, firefox'

const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
    const browser = await chromium.launch({
        headless: false,
        executablePath: '/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome',
    });
    const context = await browser.newContext();
    const page = await context.newPage();
    await page.goto('http://whatsmyuseragent.org/');
    await page.screenshot({ path: `example-${browserType}.png` });
})();

You need to pick one of those flavors. But once you pick the browser type Chromium, you will still be able to pass an executablePath to the launch function.
