I'm seeing the same bug. When I try to run pw_run.sh in webkit-1564:

./pw_run.sh
Playwright[14659:4089449] WebContent process crashed; reloading

I'm having the same issue, but looks like it is not related to M1 since I have mac on 1,4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
Maybe it is related to Operating System: macOS 12.0.1 (21A559)?

Closing as a duplicate of #9811.

You can fix it by npm i @playwright/test@1.17.0-next-alpha-nov-5-2021 or wait for 1.17.0.
