Review Summary
Users praise Web Scraper for being a customizable and free tool that effectively handles JavaScript-heavy sites and saves time on data extraction once learned. However, many report difficulties with large-scale scraping due to crashes or export failures, as well as a challenging learning curve. Additionally, some encounter bugs with pagination and issues related to recent Chrome updates impacting functionality. Despite these drawbacks, responsive support and the ability to automate data extraction remain significant positives.

- Effective and reliable once the initial setup and learning curve is overcome.
- Completely free and capable of scraping data from JavaScript-based pages.
- Supportive customer service that promptly assists users when issues arise.

Cons
- Performs poorly or crashes when handling large volumes of data, making export difficult or impossible.
- Steep learning curve and less intuitive compared to manual scraping or IDE methods.
- Bugs and design flaws in handling complex pagination and nested data scraping scenarios.
- Compatibility issues with latest Chrome versions causing malfunction or failures.
