    • Full page content retrieval
    • Visible content only retrieval
    • Proper HTML parsing
  2. Interaction
    • Detection and position information retrieval of interactive elements
    • Mouse operation simulation (movement, clicks, scrolling)
    • Drag and drop support
  3. Error Handling
    • Proper navigation error handling
    • Timeout processing
    • Invalid URL detection
  4. Configuration Flexibility
    • Headless/head mode selection
