Show HN: Flyscrape – A standalone and scriptable web scraper in Go
Interesting. Can you compare it to colly? [0]
Last time I looked it was the most popular choice for scraping in Go and I have some projects using it.
Is it similar? Does it have more/less features or is it more suited for a different use case? (Which one?)

Current problems and mistakes of web scraping in Python and tricks to solve them!
One might ask, what about Scrapy? I'll be honest: I don't really keep up with their updates. But I haven't heard about Zyte doing anything to bypass TLS fingerprinting. So out of the box Scrapy will also be blocked, but nothing is stopping you from using curl_cffi in your Scrapy Spider.

Scrapy Vs. Crawlee
Scrapy is an open-source Python-based web scraping framework that extracts data from websites. With Scrapy, you create spiders, which are autonomous scripts to download and process web content. The limitation of Scrapy is that it does not work very well with JavaScript rendered websites, as it was designed for static HTML pages. We will do a comparison later in the article about this.
