Luckily, I have some experience with playwright, so swapping shouldn't take me too long.

Currently working on a PR to swap over

With the custom headers, you can actually trick a lot of sites with bot protection to let you load their sites (even big sites like youtube, which I have found success in)

I am quite aware, but I actually built most of the scraping logic a long time ago, before I even knew that playwright was a thing.

I am looking to refactor a lot of this, and switching over to playwright is a high priority, using something like camoufox for scraping, instead of just chromium.

Most of my work on this the past month has been simple additions that are nice to haves
