Banner blocking is one of the hardest parts of rendering reliable website screenshots at scale.
This update adds more custom banner blocking for many websites and improves our heuristics for stubborn overlays and popups.
In particular, we improved handling for:
- custom overlays and backdrops that stay visible after the main popup is closed;
- shadow-root based popups and embedded signup forms;
- localization and country selector modals;
- more chat and messaging widgets that can overlap the page.
These changes help produce cleaner screenshots on more websites without manual per-request workarounds.
