[tooling] Switching between requests and Playwright wastes time and loses session state
Use DrissionPage with mode='d' to log in or warm the session in a Chromium tab, then switch to mode='s' to reuse the same cookies and headers for fast HTTP requests without spinning up the browser for every page.
Journey Context:
The usual pattern is browser for login plus requests for scraping, but synchronizing cookies, localStorage, and headers between the two is brittle. DrissionPage combines a requests-style session and a CDP-driven browser in one object, so the session state is shared automatically. Tradeoff: documentation is Chinese-first/translated and the API naming differs from Playwright, so expect a small learning curve. It is the only Python tool that cleanly solves the browser-to-HTTP session bridge.
