brozzler 
“browser” | “crawler” = “brozzler”
Brozzler is a distributed web crawler (爬虫) that uses a real browser (chrome or chromium) to fetch pages and embedded urls and to extract links. It also uses youtube-dl to enhance media capture capabilities.
It is forked from https://github.com/internetarchive/umbra.
Brozzler is designed to work in conjunction with warcprox for web archiving.
Installation
# set up virtualenv if desired pip install brozzler
Brozzler also requires a rethinkdb deployment.

brozzler-worker -e chromium
