robotframework-browser initialisation (rfbrowser init) fails on macOS 11.1

Describe the bug

rfbrowser init fails on macOS 11.1, “Playwright does not support chromium on mac11.1” (this is fixed on playwright 1.7.0, but robotframework-browser uses 1.6.2). It is not obvious how to work around the problem.
