The secret ingredient is to use Playwright's `connect_over_cdp()` method to connect to an existing browser that is already stealthy. Playwright can then perform its usual actions without being detected by anti-bot services. Example setup: `browser = playwright.chromium.connect_over_cdp("http://localhost:9222")`

Oh, the irony of using SeleniumBase to make Playwright stealthy!

Looks like that one hasn't received any major updates in awhile.
