Urgh. I had not thought about some ill effects:
1. It used no ad-blocking. Hence the bot is happy to download all trackers and advertisements! Also trackers know my pocket bookmarks now...
2. Websites are ugly. In a 1440x2000 screenshot of a national geographic article, the top 1440x1500 pixels consist of black with just a grey round progress in the middle and the word "ADVERTISEMENT" at the top.
3. Websites are wasteful. Many warc archives clock in at 30 to 50 MB. Without downloading media, a single (article) webpage is 30MB!
4. While consulting the archive, my adblocker allows everything since the initial page is on file protocol. It seems archivebox does not rewrite the URLs in its html output (as wget's convert-links option would do). So trackers and ads galore when opening output.html and even archive/<timestamp>/index.html which automaticaly load the other files.
