That's nice and everything but what to do about the EU cookie banners? Does hosting outside of the EU help?


No. Tell the services you're using to stop with the malicious compliance.


Would recommend using SeleniumBase's CDP mode to search for those substrings, click accept on those cookie banners and then take screenshot.


Yeah the EU cookie banners are annoying, I'm hoping to do some automation to click out of them before taking the screenshots


There are browser extensions you could run like consent-o-matic to try to click and hide the cookies from your screenshots:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/consent-o-matic/mdj...

Otherwise using a combination of well-known class names, ‘accept’ strings, and heuristics such as z-index, position: fixed/sticky etc can also narrow down the number of likely elements that could be modals/banners.

You could also ask a vision model whether a screenshot has a cookie banner, and ask for co-ordinates to remove it, although this could get expensive at scale!


Thanks, that's a great idea! I was originally going to go the vision model route because I'd also like people to be able to send instructions to sign in with some credentials (like when visiting the nytimes or something).


yeah that's what we basically did here at https://VisualSitemaps.com, but it can also be quickly become over-the-top, and you may end up removing important content. That's why in the end we added a second option to just manually enter CSS classes.


Arq is awesome! Unfortunately not suitable for headless systems.


For full screen on same workspace: option+maximize button or double click on title bar (works with some applications)


This is not full screen, it is "maximize". The macos bar is still there, the window is just using all space for the windows.


Neither this nor clicking it without option are actually fullscreen. MacOS doesn't have fullscreen, it only has two types of maximization.


tl;dr: Author opted for not actually using "Free Tier" and ignored all the (subtile) warnings.

> I didn't know what "Multi-AZ Deployment" nor "Provisioned IOPS Storage" were, nor did I care.

No. RTFM and look up all the terms you're not familiar with.

> Production is production, right?

Right.
