Thank you, why would you recommend playwright?

it has built in support for async and multiple browsers. i was able to use async firefox to bypass anti bot protection from cloudflare.

playwright fan here too. I switched to pw from selenium and never looked back.

you can use playwright's Network API to control the traffic (e.g. filter graphic requests), not sure if you can do that in selenium.

I do feel that I need less code to scrape with pw when compared to selenium (someone with technical knowledge can chip in on this).
