Why does this feel more like an advertisement for Webrecorder[0] than an actual guide?

Why add that privacy and big tech section at the end?

Thanks for the list of features and buzzwords, but I couldn't figure out what all this tooling exactly does. Also, none of the links work. And Webrecorder doesn't have a Firefox extension, so don't even bother listing any of the "privacy" stuff.

Archive.org has a cli which is useful if you're interested in the subject of the title: https://archive.org/developers/internetarchive/cli.html

Does anybody have tips or tools for archiving web apps? I find that Archivebox and archive.org often don’t capture a working web app, which is understandable because resources and scripts can be loaded dynamically. Maybe it’s not really solvable without manual work and auditing the web app’s code.
