Sounds like this does a lot more than simply take a screenshot. It mentions removing cookie banners, ads, etc. which is an always moving target.

If you have one, very narrow specific use case, then maybe that’s not so bad. But sounds like a huge pain if you need that for any arbitrary site.

Oh okay so it does:

chrome --load-extension=path/to/ublock --headless --screenshot https://website.com

Couldn't this be done with a headless Firefox and adblocker extensions?
I’m sure it could be. Just like I could bake an apple pie by first sowing wheat and planting apple trees.
Feels like Dropbox comment.
