If the site isn't too JS dependent, you can browse with something like lynx and that helps. Otherwise decrapifying tends to be site specific. I've done a few for sites that I frequent, but it is tedious. Alternatively you could use archived snapshots.
Edit: Sorry didn't read through your post, your title is a bit misleading. I don't think this will work with instagram or twitter or other related stuff. I still leave my comment in case someone will find it interesting to scrap webpages offline.

It takes away all the crap and you can even read it later offline with an android (don't know about ios), and has nice firefox addon.
It's not perfect because it won't work for some sites, I encountered some scraping bugs or sites that didn't work, but most of the time it works great :).
You can even help to make wallabag better.
It's a very good project regardless. Thanks for reminding me of it. Making a personal, accessible archive of website content is very useful.
