Should Puppeteer Be Your Go-To Tool for Web Scraping and Automation?

Hey everyone! 👋 So, I’ve been diving into web scraping and automation lately, and I keep hearing about Puppeteer. Like, *should puppeteer* be my go-to tool for this stuff? I mean, it seems pretty solid for controlling Chrome/Chromium, but idk if it’s overkill for simple tasks.

I’ve used other tools like BeautifulSoup or Selenium, but Puppeteer feels... smoother? Like, it’s got this async vibe that’s kinda nice. But then again, setting it up can be a bit of a pain sometimes, lol.

So, *should puppeteer* be the default choice, or is it more like a “use it when you need it” kinda thing? Curious to hear what y’all think!

Also, anyone else get stuck debugging headless mode? 😅
