Capturing content from websites is a tricky process, especially if you're trying to capture content without the owner's knowledge. There are various techniques for capturing content from a website. One of these techniques is using Google Chrome extensions such as Scribe for Chrome and Capture.io. These two extensions can capture the content of any website and save it to your computer's hard drive.

You may also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S in Windows or Command + S in macOS to save the page by right-clicking anywhere on the page and selecting Save as. Chrome has the option of saving the entire web page, including text and media elements, or only the HTML content.
