    This is probably the best solution I’ve found so far.

    Unfortunately, even this is no match for the user-hostile design of, say, Microsoft Copilot, because it hides content that is scrolled off screen so it’s invisible in the output. That’s no fault of this extension. It actually DOES capture the data. It’s not the extension’s fault that the web site intentionally obscures itself. Funnily enough, if I open the resulting html file in Lynx, I can read the hidden text, no problem. LOL.

      I was on a site that did that and was confused why my text search wasn’t finding much. Thanks devs for breaking basic browser features.

      Actually that might not have been done to deliberately disrupt your flow. Culling elements that are outside of the viewport is a technique used to reduce the amount of memory the browser consumes.
