Is it demonstrably better than Playwright in bypassing Cloudflare measures? I have some scraping projects and the "cat and mouse game" (what's the right expression here?) got so much energy that I finally went with an external dedicated scraping service. It doesn't feel right that some scrapers are considered friendly (e.g. Google), while smaller ones are vilified..

Playwright failed to bypass cloud flare, while seleniumbase did for me.

I was scraping my own oai data
