Tests you can inspect
A result is useful when you can see the target, setup, content checks, and failures. These records answer different questions, so we do not rank them together.

Puppeteer 25.12.0 with the same Chrome 153 binary as Playwright and Patchright, through custom executablePath; normally paired Chrome 154 differs. Fresh browser/context, stock launch defaults, no stealth, proxy or repeated goto. Inspect all twelve dated attempts per target, unchanged checks, visual challenge/consent limits, CDP timeouts, DOM/PNG hashes, sampled PSS and exact code. The separate usable canary stays outside the counts.

CheerioCrawler 3.18.2, stock got-scraping and generated headers, fresh single-page HTTP workers with no proxy, cookies, retries, robots fetches, browser or page JavaScript. Inspect all eleven dated attempts per target, frozen checks, empty HTTP 200s, MIME errors, redirects, body hashes, sampled PSS and exact code. This does not measure full crawling or browser modes; the separate failed-content canary stays outside the counts.
Compare eleven tools on 30 targets29 September 2026 UTC · public-30-v1 · 300 dated records
Playwright Python 1.63.0 and the same pinned Chrome 153 executable as Patchright, with matching explicit browser options and stock driver defaults. Inspect all ten dated attempts per target, unchanged checks, visual challenge and consent limits, redirects, DOM/PNG hashes, sampled PSS and exact code. No added stealth, proxy, application retry or target interaction. The separate usable canary stays outside the counts.
Compare ten tools on 30 targets29 September 2026 UTC · public-30-v1 · 270 dated records
One fresh single-page Spider per frozen URL, using the stock HTTP/1.1 downloader without a proxy or JavaScript. Inspect nine dated attempts per target, unchanged content checks, HTTP 200 failures, redirects, middleware headers, hashes, sampled PSS and exact code. This tests the downloader, not crawling or scheduling scale. The separate returned HTTP 200 canary failed content checks and is excluded.
Compare nine tools on 30 targets29 September 2026 UTC · public-30-v1 · 240 dated records
One fresh Chrome150-impersonating HTTP session per frozen URL, sequentially without a proxy, browser or JavaScript. Inspect eight dated attempts per target with identical content checks, HTTP 200 failures, redirects, headers, capture hashes, sampled PSS and exact code. This direct client pass stays separate from Scrapling’s wrapper; the public canary is excluded.
Compare eight tools on 30 targets29 September 2026 UTC · public-30-v1 · 210 dated records
One fresh Chrome/ChromeDriver instance per frozen URL, UC disabled, sequentially without a proxy. Inspect all seven dated attempts per target with identical checks, HTTP 200 soft blocks, rule limitations, redirects, capture hashes, sampled process-tree PSS and exact code. Full captures remain private; the separate public canary stays outside counts.
Compare seven tools on 30 targets29 September 2026 UTC · public-30-v1 · 180 dated records
One fresh isolated browser per frozen URL, sequentially without a proxy. Inspect all six dated attempts with identical checks, failures, redirects, capture hashes, sampled process-tree PSS and exact code. The startup fix preserves sandboxing; a separate public canary stays outside the 30-site counts. Full captures remain private.
Compare six tools on 30 targets29 September 2026 · three frozen targets · 24 attempts
Two repetitions per tool and mode on the same Web Scraping Dev, eBay and Indeed URLs. Inspect content checks, shared-success latency, per-worker and aggregate peak PSS, HTTP 200 failures, exact code and sampling limits. These practical Chromium and Firefox setups differ.

One documented HTTP Fetcher mode on every frozen URL, sequentially without a proxy. Inspect all five dated attempts with identical checks, raw-body/DOM hashes, redirect policies, failures, code and sampled process-tree PSS. HTTP-only limits, headers, cookies and dates are explicit; full captures stay private.
Compare five tools on 30 targets29 September 2026 · public-30-v1 · 120 dated records
One fresh sequential browser navigation per target without a proxy. Inspect all four dated attempts, identical required-content checks, failures, redirects, DOM hashes and sampled process-tree PSS. Resource, fingerprint and time differences are explicit. Full captures stay private.
Compare four tools on 30 targets29 September 2026 · public-30-v1
One fresh local browser per target, sequentially without a proxy. Inspect all three dated attempts for each frozen URL with the same content checks, failures, redirects, capture hashes and sampled browser process-tree PSS. Metadata and code are public; full captures remain private.
Compare three tools on 30 targets29 September 2026 · public-30-v1
Every local no-proxy Lightpanda attempt beside the corrected wreq baseline. The same required-content checks, with dates, DOM hashes, sampled process-tree PSS, failures and code. Browser work and redirect-policy differences are explicit.

The frozen 30-site manifest and one no-proxy navigation on each site, following up to three ordinary redirects. Includes every status, content and soft-block check, latency, byte count, response hash, and the Python code. Full responses remain private.

Three public pages, no proxy. One browser per page, then three browsers at once. Includes status, usable-content check, time, memory, screenshots, and the exact Python script.

Twelve published run modes from ten projects, all without a proxy on one network. Inspect individual attempts and validation checks; do not treat these old totals as current recommendations.
