(techie) If you can, disable javascript for the site. This may break the page, so turn it back on.

In all cases, (see #3) I can take a screensnap, either native to your computer or via an app that makes it easier.
I use "screenfloat" on the Mac, which does lots of stuff. It will snap just a selection if you want.

Save the snap to disk, and do what you need to.

This is especially nice with tweets etc that don't let you copy, are hard to copy, have URLs that DU can't manage, or you just want to snap something so that DU'ers don't give Elon a click for his treasury.
