Hey guys, so it seems that Linkwarden isn’t as good as I was hoping, since some websites will throw up a cookie popup or some other screen that basically prevents the capture.
Firefox Screenshot seems to work well, but it saves a PNG, which isn’t really text searchable.
FF’s “save page as…” feature seems to break things when viewing them back.
Save to PDF is another option, and that seems to be decent.
I’m not looking to copy entire websites, but I like to save web pages for later reference (i.e. instructions/specs).
I use Synology Note Station, but they don’t have a web clipper for Firefox…
I’m fine with using a folder structure to store files, despite not being totally ideal when compared to Linkwarden.
Does anyone have any other suggestions that perhaps I’ve missed? Nothing too complicated… ideally, as simple as a button click would be great.
Are you familiar with the SingleFile browser extension? “It helps you to save a complete web page into a single HTML file.” This includes images.
This seems to be exactly what I’m looking for!! Thank you!
uBO could help with cleaning up the site
I just learned about this FOSS option: https://linkwarden.app/
Looks really good.
Edit: Oops. Something to watch: https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/issues/138
Save Page WE extension, i think better than singlefile because much more configurable.
Save to PDF is another option, and that seems to be decent.
If that is a decent option, why are you searching for another tool?
There’s always something better 😂
I use WebScrapBook on LibreWolf. It let you choose between saving to single html, maff and htz. I prefer the htz format where resources are stored next to the page in an archive. It can also be viewed natively by Firefox-based browsers using the URI scheme
jar:file:///home/me/somepage.htz!/index.html.
