102057939019362255921Q: Failed chromium browser loads
I’m getting ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED errors when the scraper tries to open Google Maps quick using an ISP proxy (whitelisted). The issue is not the program itself, but the proxy.
Please add instant Google Maps page reload on failure, since proxy fails seem unaviodable. Currently, the program skips that ZIP+keyword line as if no results appeared. (but when i search that ZIP it shows good business data to be scraped).
I don't use headless browsing, to help load the google maps.
I run 20 ZIP + 20 keywords, and i get 13-16 Excel files of results. I have to run 1-2 more batches of ZIP+keyowrds at the end of the day (with the failed searches) to make sure i scrape everything.
Also, change the fixed WAIT time to a random delay (7–10 sec) to prevent repeating actions at exact intervals and make the scraper behave more human-like.

Yes the program currently skips when the proxy fails to initialize the search. I'll add a relaunch system for this, personally it was easier for me to keep track of the failures and rerun them later but I can see the issue. Other scrapers like Yahoo or something where the pages are not loaded in browser it has a retry system. What you are describing only happens when the browser first opens and can't reach the initial search page.
The Wait times in the program are not fixed the default times are randomized and any custom time entered by the user is randomized with +1 second. So entering 6 becomes 6-7 seconds, this just isn't told to the customer.
Lovely. I apologize for not emailing you, ill do that from here on. thanks
