We usually use the basic cheerio to crawl web contents. In some cases, where the basic cheerio fails, we use the chrome+playwright crawler when all other crawlers fail too.
Recently, we found that the chrome headless crawler and it's not working for us anymore. We need a quick solution for this issue if that's possible. Consider that the firefox one didn't work for us.
Thanks,
Hello @sestek, thank you for reaching out!
The Chrome+Playwright crawler has indeed been deprecated due to performance issues, and users are now redirected to the Firefox version. We haven't observed issues with the Firefox crawler yet.
Could you share more details about your specific use case? Understanding the exact scenarios where Cheerio and Firefox fail will help us suggest the best alternative or a workaround.
In the meantime, you can revert to an earlier version of the Actor crawler using the versioning options in your run settings (the Chrome+Playwright crawler type was deprecated in 0.3.33). Check out the changelog to pick the best version for you.
Cheers!
