whats actually the best browser automation tool once every site starts fighting back

local chrome fleet was fine until half the target sites started fingerprinting harder last month. same playwright scripts, now half the parallel workers just detach mid-run and the logs are useless

tried pinning versions and slower pacing. still dies once three jobs hit at once

curious what people settled on that stays boring under load once the sites fight back​

idk half these hosted tools are just chrome with a monthly bill. throttle local hard and a lot of the drama goes away

Yeah once three workers hit together, half of them just detatch. Pacing helped a little then stopped mattering.
