I've been using puppeteer as it's got a very established ecosystem. There are also puppeteer plugins that make it very powerful against captchas/detection/etc.

The worst thing about Puppeteer is chrome and it's bad memory management so I'm going to give playwright a spin soon.

It's been a while, but last time I used it Puppeteer had a headless Firefox backend?
Puppeteer can do both Chrome & Firefox, you're right. I use both for a scraping project I do.
You might be mistaking playwright with puppeteer
