How do I block your service? Do you read robots.txt and have an identifiable user agent?

The whole point of AI browser automation is mimicking human behaviour, fighting the anti-bot detection systems. If the point is interacting with systems, we'd be using APIs

Great work! I just tried it and Google immediately captcha'd me on the first attempt. Is it using playwright or patchright? patchright using chrome and not chromium is more robust

Also any plans to add remote browser control feature? For Human in the loop tasks, for example advanced captcha bypassing and troubleshooting tasks that are stuck

Companies work on averages, statistically what retains, engages the users.

But Spotify is far better now than it was 10 years ago. I still have playlists, I can still instantly find any song I want. The added bonus is the discovery engine. So the UX now is a superset of what it was before.

Even the high-end supermarkets in Denmark suck, but it makes sense, it's all the same three chains, COOP, Salling Group or Dagrofa.

I read somewhere that Denmark is the country with the highest food prices in Europe, but we also spend the least on food. That's just a winning combination right there.

I struggle to understand why. Is it tariffs or some sort of farmer protectionism lobbying like Switzerland? Switzerland, one of the most expensive countries, has pretty decent grocery price.

Neighbour Sweden has pretty great prices for that latitude.

Yet people are still dismissive about MCP. It's simple and just a wrapper for APIs, but it works wonders

You cannot get a good avocado in Denmark, period. Last attempt I got eight that looked good. All but two was basically rotten inside, the remaining two just meeh. Trying avocado and guacamole in the US is just something completely different. The avocados are huge and absolutely perfect.

I've just given up on avocados, I'll have to wait for a trip to Mexico or the US.

Denmark, imho, has the worst grocery stores of all Western European countries. I'm comparing an average supermarket not some organic high-end. I find grocery shopping usually pleasurable, Netto makes get out asap.

The author is also a proponent of tired light theory, which has been thoroughly refuted.

Great release! But i'm wondering why they didn't just support the original Playwright APIs instead of the subset of actions.
