Wow, thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I’ve been playing around with V8 and polite based on your recs, and they’ve been super helpful for lighter JS stuff.

I’m still a bit intimidated by RSelenium, but I think I’ll give it a shot for the heavier sites. Has anyone tried Playwright? It sounds promising, but I’m curious if it’s worth the learning curve.

Also, shoutout to whoever mentioned htmlunit—I’ll definitely check that out as a middle ground. Thanks again, y’all! 🍻
