Dude, selenium web scraping is a beast, especially with dynamic sites. One trick I use is combining Selenium with BeautifulSoup. Let Selenium load the page, then pass the source to BeautifulSoup for parsing. It’s way faster.
For IP bans, yeah, proxies are a must. I use Smartproxy, and it’s been reliable. Also, make sure to randomize your user agents. There are libraries like `fake-useragent` that make it super easy.
And hey, if you’re tired of waits, try `ActionChains` for interacting with elements. It’s smoother than just waiting around.
