then screen capture is about it.... too many sites, ALL the content is
dynamic, for instance,
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.9460899,-122.0268105,664a,20y,41.31t/data=!3m1!1e3
that page is composed of tiles of image data superimposed on the fly
with ajax code running in the browser to fetch the layers displayed.
you simply can't fetch the html and make any sense out of it, the
browser is running a complex application to display that.
