Octoparse’s Chrome extension is my vote. It’s like training wheels for web scraping.

Also, Import.io (RIP free tier) was great—maybe try their alternatives?

P.S. Avoid sites with anti-bot measures unless you wanna get blocked.
Google Colab + BeautifulSoup sounds scary but has no-code templates. Just paste the URL.

Otherwise, Web Scraper (extension) is idiot-proof. Used it for my thesis lol.

DevTools is fine for one-offs, but automate if it’s repetitive.
