If you're trying to scale beyond like, dozens of pages, definitely experiment with browser context reuse using browser.MustIncognito() to cut down on per-page overhead, tho fair warning - memory's still gonna balloon up pretty hard at scale, and Rod's got some known memory leak gremlins (#1226, #748) that can pile up if you're running long scrapes. That said, this is genuinely a clear, practical guide that'll save a ton of devs from going absolutely nuts debugging race condition nightmares
