the idea is to open a webpage in a headless browser, run all the javascript and whatnot, and then ai-generate a program to translate the page as-displayed into a textonly format.

not great for everything, and it does, unfortunately need an LLM call to generate the translation program, but if you truly want to live in emacs, I've found it as a good stop-gap for certain pages that EWW cannot effectively render.

I like to give my AI assistant a URL and ask it to tell me what the page says — and my preferred way to talk to the assistant is in Emacs.
