This uses Chrome DevTools Protocol in a pretty clever way. I used it to archive a highly interactive website and it worked like a charm.

The README states: "It runs connected to a browser, and so is able to access the full-scope of resources (with, currently, the exception of video, audio and websockets, for now)"

I wonder what kind of limitations makes it hard to intercept those resources like the rest of the content.

Awesome! I always wanted this and at one point tried to achieve it with WWWOFFLE, but the welcome proliferation of https thwarted that attempt.

Gonna check it.

Unfortunately only for chrome. I am very much used to having my favourite set of Firefox plugins. Will have to check whether I can replicate that with Chrome.

Video and audio is probably just a matter of not having gotten around to it yet. WebSockets are another matter. I’m not sure what one would do with a two-way channel in a general sense. It’s often not an idempotent operation.

Unfortunate state of affairs with firefox extentions. Niche extentions do not exist anymore.

I had to switch to chrome for extensions. Finding a chrome extension that provides similiar functionality to your firefox ones should be easy.
