Playwright

Stock Playwright issues CDP commands anti-bot systems detect (Runtime.enable and its bookkeeping hooks), and protected sites block the session. Use Patchright: same API, one import change.

If you’ve measured that your targets don’t care, stock Playwright works unchanged:

import { chromium } from "playwright";

const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP(session.cdpUrl);
const context = browser.contexts()[0] ?? (await browser.newContext());
const page = context.pages()[0] ?? (await context.newPage());
await page.goto("https://example.com");
console.log(await page.title());
await browser.close();

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.connect_over_cdp(session["cdpUrl"])
    context = browser.contexts[0] if browser.contexts else browser.new_context()
    page = context.pages[0] if context.pages else context.new_page()
    page.goto("https://example.com")
    print(page.title())
    browser.close()

Install with npm install playwright or pip install playwright. Don’t run playwright install; the browser is Driver’s.

Everything else

Contexts, tabs, disconnecting versus stopping, reconnecting and timeouts work the same as with Patchright. See Connect over CDP.
