Remember: others' work is theirs unless they license it to you. Just because you technically can copy something doesn't mean you're allowed to make and distribute copies or derivatives. If you do this professionally, you'll get yourself or your employer sued, and/or your work pulled off the internet against your will. You wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet, etc.

But Google scraping the web is somehow allowed? I'm not against it but these laws seem arbitrary.

Depends on the country you live in. Not the whole globe is dominated by western laws :)
The whole globe? No. But the berne convention does have 179 signatory countries. It's not just "western". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention
How is that not considered creating derivative works? Would not touch this for anything beyond basic toys and never for anything commercial, no chance in hell. Edit: view source exists of course, and I think we’ve all copy pasted something from a source view out of convenience but something about copying entire components with styles and everything just feels wrong , and possibly legally grey depending on who you mig…
Your response tells me it is a game changer and is going to be useful for tons of developers. I predict that they will create this for Angular, Vue, Svelte, etc.
This is pretty cool. Are you worried about copyright at all though? Especially if this get used in a commercial context?
Is this limited to React sites, or any HTML page?

What happens if the target website uses a react component library (like mui)?
I guess for some use cases it could still be useful to extract just a portion of that code. But in other scenarios it might be cleaner to just use that component library.

Physical vs. digital. It's not stealing, it might be copyright infringement.
