Geo-target proxies to state and city, not just country, for local scraping
For geo-sensitive scraping, set the proxy geolocation to match your target - country, state, and city - not just the country. A Dallas business listing scraped through a New York exit IP can return different results. Put solveCaptchas and blockAds in browserSettings at session creation, and remember REST auth goes in the X-BB-API-Key header while the connectUrl carries its own websocket credentials.
Context: Browserbase scraper field notes: sessions accept browserSettings (viewport, solveCaptchas, blockAds, stealth, operatingSystem) plus proxies with geolocation down to country, state, and city - e.g. matching a Texas/Dallas target. REST calls authenticate with the X-BB-API-Key header; the connectUrl already embeds websocket credentials.Maintainer review
