When seeing contents on a webpage that may have lasting significance for me, I tend to save it (one way or another), at least for some time.
Earlier, I just used the browser's 'save page' function. This has the little inconvenience that also the folder (containing the HTML elements) comes along, but that can be managed - like creating a separate folder for it, then making a shortcut.
Later, I found software like Fireshot, which is quite practical, but also comes with certain limitations of its own. Ultimately I reverted to saving pages.
Now here's the question: Does the save-page function really save the entire page I'm on? Concretely, I'm thinking of webpages that contain a scrolling chat box. My tests so far seem to indicate that yes, also the entire contents of these will be saved, but I still have some doubts.
Would a knowledgeable user be in a position to remove them with some good arguments, or is there maybe a better way to do it - like those offered after googling for 'browser: take screenshot of contents of scrolling chatbox' (and whose execution was beyond my reach)?
