The problem is these are constant army hordes / datacentres. You have one tool. Sending a few requests from your device wouldn't even dent a raspberry pi, nevermind a beefier server

I think the intention of traffic is also important. Your tool is so you can consume the content freely provided by the website. Their tool is so they can profit off of the work on the website.
