If you use Firefox, next time press SHIFT + F2, then type in "screenshot --fullpage" and press enter.

That's an awesome feature, thanks for the tip. Will definitely keep it in mind when I'm on a machine with FF installed!

Works fine with the anti-adblock filter lists in uBlock Origin (which I can highly recommend)

Just load it with javascript disabled.

You may need to find a sane browser for that. Opera 12 does that job fine for me.

You can easily blacklist JS on certain sites in Chrome.
