Always download PDF + non HTML page cleanup + enterprise policy cleanup (#629)
Adds enterprise policy to always download PDF and sets download dir to
/dev/null
Moves policies to chromium.json and brave.json for clarity
Further cleanup of non-HTML loading path:
- sets downloadResponse when page load is aborted but response is
actually download
- sets firstResponse when first response finishes, but page doesn't
fully load
 - logs that non-HTML pages skip all post-crawl behaviors in one place
 - move page extra delay to separate awaitPageExtraDelay() function, applied for all pages (while post-load delay only applied to HTML pages)

Browsertrix Crawler 1.x

Browsertrix Crawler is a standalone browser-based high-fidelity crawling system, designed to run a complex, customizable browser-based crawl in a single Docker container. Browsertrix Crawler uses Puppeteer to control one or more Brave Browser browser windows in parallel. Data is captured through the Chrome Devtools Protocol (CDP) in the browser.

For information on how to use and develop Browsertrix Crawler, see the hosted Browsertrix Crawler documentation.

For information on how to build the docs locally, see the docs page.

Support

Initial support for 0.x version of Browsertrix Crawler, was provided by Kiwix. The initial functionality for Browsertrix Crawler was developed to support the zimit project in a collaboration between Webrecorder and Kiwix, and this project has been split off from Zimit into a core component of Webrecorder.

Additional support for Browsertrix Crawler, including for the development of the 0.4.x version has been provided by Portico.
