Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Scrapping with browsertrix-crawler seems like overkill for simple scrapping of a few pages, and ends up producing huge files which is taking most of the storage capacity of devices.

Describe the solution you'd like
Adapting some simple scrapping tool such as page-replica
could greatly improve and simplify the stack.
