Don't archive the web by taking screenshots?



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.



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.
