The logic for downloading and updating browsers predates when we created and started using the @recordreplay/playwright package. The latter package takes care of downloading browsers, and the custom logic in this repo duplicates that effort, puts the browsers in a different place, has to download the recording driver by itself (also no longer necessary), and doesn't recognize using the RECORD_REPLAY_DIRECTORY env var to set another directory with browsers to use. This logic should be removed, so we can fully rely on the playwright package to manage the installed browsers.
