Selenium is more versatile, but puppeteer is way easier to use for SERP scraping. If you’re just scraping one browser, go with puppeteer.
CAPTCHAs are tricky, but using a headless browser with rotating IPs can help. Check out services like Luminati or GeoSurf for proxies.

Wow, thanks everyone for the insights! 🙌 I think I’m gonna give puppeteer a shot first since it sounds easier to set up and faster for SERP scraping.
Quick follow-up though: anyone have tips on handling CAPTCHAs without breaking the bank? I’ve heard some of these services can get pricey. Also, any free/cheap proxy recommendations?
Thanks again, y’all are the best! 😊
