Nx 14.5 - Cypess v10, Output globs, Linter perf, React Tailwind support
Protractor has been deprecated for a while on the Angular CLI side and given Nx has had Cypress support for a while it has never been a popular choice. Starting with this release we're deprecating the generator for setting up Protractor and we're planning on removing support entirely in Nx v15.

Web Scraping Google With Node JS
Nightmare JS is a web automation library designed for websites that don’t own APIs and want to automate browsing tasks. Nightmare JS is mostly used by developers for UI testing and crawling.

How can I do a web scrapping with nodejs?
Depends on the use-case. If you want to save complete websites for offline usage I've created [telescopy](https://www.npmjs.com/package/telescopy) for that. If you need to extract content from one html-page then try something like [nightmare.js](https://github.com/segmentio/nightmare)
