decent list, but a couple lines are just asserted without anything backing them. calling scrapy number one and serpapi the market leader and original platform without any numbers or share data is the same problem the article should be avoiding.
the pydoll catch is the real one though, it says best for stealth then a few paragraphs later admits stealth doesn't guarantee access, that's a legit contradiction worth pointing out.
would've liked to see apify named directly since the crawlee section is obviously pointing at some hosted platform without saying who, and the self hosted proxy story is missing entirely while the managed side gets covered fine. also this platforms should be these platforms.
from experience, check the network tab before reaching for a browser tool, half the time the js heavy page is just calling a json endpoint underneath and you didn't need playwright at all.
