kage
kage renders every page in headless Chrome, snapshots the final DOM, removes every script and event handler, and downloads and rewrites the CSS, images, and fonts. The result looks like the live site but runs no code: a plain folder of .html files you can open straight from disk.

What is kage?
kage renders every page in headless Chrome, snapshots the final DOM, removes every script and event handler, and downloads and rewrites the CSS, images, and fonts. The result looks like the live site but runs no code: a plain folder of .html files you can open straight from disk.
Saving a page with "Save As" gives you a copy that still phones home, still runs analytics, and often renders blank because the markup is built by JavaScript at runtime. kage ("shadow") takes the opposite approach: it drives a real browser, captures the page the way a human would have seen it, then makes it inert.
