The website [1] is very strange. What does U.S. stand for? If I were to stumble on this I'd assume it was a fishing / scam website trying to impersonate the government. Bad vibes all around.

For anyone who might not be aware, Chrome also has the ability to save screenshots from the command line using: chrome --headless --screenshot="path/to/save/screenshot.png" --disable-gpu --window-size=1280,720 " https://www.example.com "

What features won't work without GPU?

That's nice and everything but what to do about the EU cookie banners? Does hosting outside of the EU help?

Yeah the EU cookie banners are annoying, I'm hoping to do some automation to click out of them before taking the screenshots

I'll try to improve the vibes :(

I've been working at this startup for almost two years now and that page and branding etc has been changing a lot as you can imagine ...

The similarities with WhiteHouse.gov’s design can’t be much help either, I imagine.
