Is it demonstrably better than Playwright in bypassing Cloudflare measures? I have some scraping projects and the "cat and mouse game" (what's the right expression here?) got so much energy that I finally went with an external dedicated scraping service. It doesn't feel right that some scrapers are considered friendly (e.g. Google), while smaller ones are vilified..
