[Question] Comparison of Patchright with Rebrowser

[doojin]

I have a web crawler pet project which uses Playwright library under the hood and until today I was applying some "fortification" patches to the library manually. The results are pretty OK, but I decided to explore other "drop-in" options available which brought me here.

First of all, after doing some tests with Patchright I have to admit you guys did an awesome job. I'd like to thank all the project contributors for such a great free tool becoming available.

Another option which I found was Rebrowser (https://github.com/rebrowser/rebrowser-patches) which is pretty similar to your project. It contains patches for both: Playwright and Puppeteer.

After playing with both libraries, I can say that the results are pretty much identical. Which brings me to a question, if these two projects are competitors (providing quite the same functionality) and if so, which one should I choose?

As an end user, during my tests I found two differences:

• Rebrowser in some cases logs some errors during navigation, which do not affect the result, but are quite annoying (while Patchright handles such cases without any problem).
• Patchright triggers the Cloudflare checks in scenarios where Rebrowser does not trigger them (I am using identical code for both tests). Even tho I am able to pass the check by clicking on the Cloudflare human verification checkbox (Patchright is handling this step without any problem), it's very concerning, since I'd like to avoid being detected in first place.
