Splash https://github.com/scrapy-plugins/scrapy-splash

Runs a little headless browser.

Interesting, is there a variant which uses chrome? This would also eliminate most scraping protections.

Splash is not chromium I believe. Therefore it's buggy as hell and doesn't render websites that Chrome can as smoothly and easily.
