Hi,

Can someone help me understand what is the purpose/usage of the capthca solver?

# In scrape.py > scrape_website() function
driver.execute('executeCdpCommand', {
            'cmd': 'Captcha.waitForSolve',
            'params': {'detectTimeout': 10 * 1000},
        })?

In bright data documentation it says:

By default, as part of our full proxy unblocking solution, Scraping Browser also solves CAPTCHAs that are encountered while returning your proxy request.
https://docs.brightdata.com/scraping-automation/scraping-browser/features/captcha-solver

So why is it still needed?

to solve the captcha?
check if the it is solved?
give time for it to be solved before getting the page source?

Thanks in advance for your help!
