Describe the bug

Playwright-extra-plugin-stealth is still detected on the anikoto anime website. Here's is an example of a URL which can be used for testing:

https://anikototv.to/watch/that-time-i-got-reincarnated-as-a-slime-season-2-mjgou/ep-1

When the page loads the video refuses to display, despite working perfectly in the non-automated version of the same browser (I'm using chrome).

Code Snippet

javascript
import { chromium } from "playwright-extra";
import stealthPlugin from "puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth";
const stealth = stealthPlugin();
chromium.use(stealth);
await page.goto("https://anikototv.to/watch/that-time-i-got-reincarnated-as-a-slime-season-2-mjgou/ep-1")
