Don't archive the web by taking screenshots?

• alpaca128 3y ago
  What other way is as convenient and available but better? Printing as PDF doesn't save the content exactly as it's shown in the browser and a plugin I used for a while in the past was pretty unreliable. Screenshots work on any device with a modern browser and usually I don't want to capture the entire page anyway but just specific interesting parts.

    Firefox can screenshot the entire page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/take-screenshots-firefox#w_what-types-of-screenshots-can-i-capture https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/take-screenshots-firefo...

      Thanks for the tip. Also I completely forgot you can screenshot specific HTML elements in the Inspect panel with a right-click and "screenshot node".

        Late Edit: unfortunately Firefox' screenshot feature seems to have a maximum size, beyond which it just silently truncates the output.
