I updated my FUSE filesystem to allow one to mount random generic websites as folders.

I wrote HTTPDirFS a while back, to allow one to mount HTTP directory listings as a folder. I have now extended the program to allow one to mount generic website. All the resources (e.g. images) get exposed as files that you can copy and paste.

Feel free to try it out at: https://github.com/fangfufu/httpdirfs

The feature for mounting generic website is available on the latest commit master branch. I haven't created a release version containing it yet.

It is pretty silly, but Linux ecosystem makes programming easy. I thought people here might like the silliness of this whole thing. Mind you, this software is available in the repository in multiple distros, notably Debian.
