udmrzn · x · 2026-11-09
The author benchmarked Scrapling v0.5.1 (100k GitHub stars) on their own laptop, running every performance claim and keeping the failures in:
- Parsing is 349x faster than BeautifulSoup (the README claims 785x).
- One Cloudflare bypass test ran slowly—kept in the review on purpose.
- Full video walkthrough included.
A useful independent benchmark for scraping workflows.
