Request to Capture Screenshots After Applying "Remove Elements" #1821

Open adripo opened 1 year ago

adripo commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Currently, screenshots are taken before the application of "Remove elements" (subtractive_selectors) on a page. This leads to inaccurate representation in cases where this feature significantly alters the page layout or content.

Version 0.45.2

Expected behavior I expected that the screenshot should be taken after the application of "Remove elements" (subtractive_selectors) so that it accurately reflects the modified page.

Yeah, maybe a good idea

If you live in Europe, most of the time the screenshots will covered by the cookie notices. Thus, removing those elements is required in order to make the screenshot remotely useful.

Current behavior:

The desired behavior would be to remove the elements before taking the screenshot.

As a workaround, we can manually remove those elements by using JavaScript, as custom scripts are executed before taking the screenshot.
