Ask HN: Have you ever used anti detect browsers for web scraping?

I'm in the web scraping industry for a while and I often spend some time creating my "swiss knife" with Playwright or Selenium in case things get tough. Thanks to a niche substack I'm following, I discovered only today the existence of anti detect browsers like GoLogin and others. From what I see, they seem a good solution for small projects, but difficult to scale in larger ones for costs of licensing and infrastructure (most of them require a windows machine to run). Does any of you guys smarter than me use these browsers on a large scale? How is composed your tech stack?
