For years I've on and off looked for web archiving software that can capture most sites, including ones that are "complex" with lots of AJAX and require logins like Reddit. Which ones have worked best for you?

Ideally I want one that can be started up programatically or via command line, an opens a chromium instance (or any browser), and captures everything shown on the page. I could also open the instance myself and log into sites and install addons like UBlock Origin. (btw, archiveweb.page must be started manually).

I haven’t tried to, but there does seem to be a way to capture “logged in” websites:
