Recently I've been using Fake Browser (fakeapp.com) for web scraping. While it's inefficient for large jobs, it's awesome for hacking together quick scripts. With Fake you can write your scraper in JavaScript and it run in an actual browser so it's very visual process. It's great for instances where you want to get past complicated authentication systems without writing code. Just sign in manually and start your script.
