I think this is the reason why the Playwright tests fail now...

Error: expect.not.toHaveClass: Error: strict mode violation: getByRole('link', { name: 'All' }) resolved to 2 elements:
    1) <a class="install-link" href="http://localhost:5000/install/win">Install</a> aka getByRole('link', { name: 'Install' })
    2) <a href="#" data-os="" class="subtle-button gui-os-filter">All</a> aka getByRole('link', { name: 'All', exact: true })

Call log:
  - Expect "not toHaveClass" with timeout 5000ms
  - waiting for getByRole('link', { name: 'All' })


  66 |
  67 |     const allButton = page.getByRole('link', { name: 'All' })
> 68 |     await expect(allButton).not.toHaveClass(/selected/)
     |                                 ^
  69 |
  70 |     const thumbnails = page.locator('.gui-thumbnails li:visible')
  71 |     const count = await thumbnails.count()
    at /home/runner/work/git-scm.com/git-scm.com/tests/git-scm.spec.js:68:33

We probably need to change this line:

    const allButton = page.getByRole('link', { name: 'All' })

to use an exact match:

    const allButton = page.getByRole('link', { name: 'All', exact: true })
