bot detection (captcha) changed, Playwright+Crawle...

I have a program: Playwright+Crawlee+Firefox+rotating proxies used to scrape jobs from wellfound.com In may 2024 (and earlier) it worked quite well, many months, despite captcha protection on site. Today I get HTTP 403 and captcha (from ct.captcha-delivery.com). My code is not changed! Proxies: iproyal.com, "residential-proxies", session time 1 min ("sticky session"). What I did: in the same session accessed URL1 and than URL2. URL1 has no captcha, URL2 contains info I need, and is/was protected with captcha. In the past the trick with "URL1 and than URL2 in the same session" worked well. Today I get captcha when accessing URL2. What I tried: switched between Chrome and Firefox in my code. For Chrome tried with `chromium.use(stealthPlugin()) `and without it. Still see that captcha. Tried to access the site with normal GUI browser (Firefox) through iproyal.com "sticky session": accessing URL1 and than URL2: no captcha. It means: proxies are still OK, they are not detected! Bottom line: something changed, bot detection improved. What is our answer? Is it something similar to this: https://discord.com/channels/801163717915574323/1293244368249032895/1293244368249032895 @Jeno what solution you found?
