warc is not a panacea; for example, gemini makes it super annoying to get a transcript of your conversation, so i started saving those as pdf and warc.

turns out that unlike most webpages, the pdf version is only a single page of what is visible on screen.

turns out also that opening the warc immediately triggers a js redirect that is planted in the page. i can still extract the text manually - it’s embedded there - but i cannot “just open” the warc in my browser and expect an offline “archive” version - im interacting with a live webpage! this sucks from all sides - usability, privacy, security.

Admittedly, i don’t use webrecorder - does it solve this problem? did you verify?

Not sure if you tried that. Chrome has a take full page screenshot command. Just open the command bar in dev tools and search for "full" and you will fund it. Firefox has it right in the context menu, no need for dev tools.

Unfortunately there are sites where it does not work.

Apart from small UX nits, FF's screenshot feature is great - it's just that storing a 2-15MiB bitmap copy of a text medium still feels dirty to me every time.. would much prefer a PDF export, page size matching the scroll port, with embedded fonts and vectors and without print CSS..
