Wow, thanks for all the insights, everyone!

I think I’m gonna give Playwright a shot since it seems like the best of both worlds.

Also, the proxy service suggestion is gold—def gonna look into Bright Data or Oxylabs.

Still torn on the whole puppeteer vs selenium fo serp scraping thing, but this thread has been super helpful. Cheers!
Selenium is a pain to set up, but it’s worth it for the flexibility.

Puppeteer is great for speed, but I’ve had issues with it not handling certain sites well.

For SERP scraping, I’d recommend using a combo of both tools depending on the task.
