This all depends on what exactly you want to copy. The simplest means of copying is clicking right and selecting view page source. Then select all, copy and paste into a text editor.

Now this will copy what you see on the screen as it appears in the DOM, but it will not copy any external resources such as CSS. So re-opening the local copy may not display as it did in the live version. But the screen contents should all be there.

Now if you want to copy some elements that a specific page is using, say to re-use it on your website, like a menu or widget. Then the above method might not work, since you would be more concerned with how something got to the screen and less with what is on the screen, and the above only shows what on the screen. So sites may use Javascript or AJAX to get content from databases or external API's, and all this may be harder to copy or understand, and much of it maybe intentionally obfuscated to make it hard to understand.

It depends on the browser. You need something that offers an “HTML complete” option, as opposed to saving in a package that can only be read by the browser. Typically, calls to external content, including analytics and ads, will be unchanged.

This is, of course, assuming that you are copying the page for legitimate law-abiding purposes. Studying other people’s CSS, as in “Oh! {display: table-row;}! I would never have thought of that” counts as legitimate in my book.
